TB question

How much HP do you need before you start upgrading you TB to a 52 mm, or even a 58mm? Thanks.

IMO i would say around 375rwhp you need to upgrade the stock TB.

do you think the stock MAF would need to be upgraded as well at that point?

Hey Fellas, I went to a 52mm TB with a trickflow elbow and a Moroso CAI..... man I was really impressed with it. My car is a new element to me... The Intake maniford will handle 52mm but 58mm and you will have to bore it...try the 52mm I think you will be impressed as long as you have a decent CAI... my 2 cents

do you have any dyno # or track times see how much you gained?
a butt-o-meter is not a measuring tool in performance parts.

Do you think the stock throttle body is choking my 396 stroker?
