Why would you want to? You aren't going to gain any power.

Re: 54mm throttle body
How about a 58mm throttle body on a 396?

Definitely need to port the intake TB openings to run a 58mm TB.

Re: 54mm throttle body
I just looked at my intake today, and Loyd Elliott ported it out for a 58mm, i figured he would have done that anyway.

Stock opening is not 54mm it is 52mm. It measures 2.047 which is 52mm.

Re: 54mm throttle body
Madwolf dynoed his car, and lost hp. Hes not the first one to have this experience.

Research it on your own time. Plenty of people have lost power/gained nothing going with larger TB.
