52mm tthrottle body how much hp on mild motor?
Any point in getting one of these for what is to be a pretty mildly modified car.Planned mods are catback,air filter maybe cold air ,1le elbow,160stat,mabye some 3.42 gears and 2800 or so stall,maybe some rocker arms..no cam,no heads,no nitrous ,no blowers..So do you guys think bother with 52 mm tb.??

His times are pretty slow but his 60ft is terrible so I assume that is on street tires.And have to know what alititude the track was.I was hoping the wifes vert would be able to do a mid to high 14
but might be more like 15 seconds stock at my 1900 ft altitude.
I know converts are heavier than normal z28s but by how much??
I don't really care if her car is a that wicked fast I have my pretty seriously modded 99 and soon to be big blocked 6.71 80ta.
I just wanted a bit more snap around town as I will be driving the vert too.

sadly yes those times are with all the mods in my sig. and my vert isnt heavy anymore, it weighs 3400 without me it 
but i had my cam installed 2 degrees retarded on those runs, i exhaust leaks on both my collectors.
i fixed my cam last week and will fix the exhaust leaks before i go the track on friday the 17th.
i wish i had a scanmaster to see my KR and other readings.
didnt mean to be a thread hi jacker, but your question has been answered

I got a BBK 52mm from a friend used for half price, so I decided to invest. I didn't notice much, except throttle responce down low was sharper and maybe revved a little smoother up top.
But yeah, 5-10 hp max gain.
