Everyone is always going for the biggest throttle body and the biggest cam and the biggest headers they can find, but a lot of times that isn’t the right choice. But how do you know? Is a bigger throttle body actually the performance mod you need? Or is it a torque killer? There are so many claims when it comes to throttle body sizes, but how do we know without real dyno testing?
Check out Richard’s video on the subject below.
Video Description:
WILL A SMALLER THROTTLE BODY WORK ON A TBSS INTAKE? DO I NEED A BIGGER THROTTLE BODY WHEN REPLACING A TRUCK INTAKE WITH A TBSS INTAKE? THE OPENING ON THE TBSS INTAKE IS 90MM, SO DO I NEED A 90MM THROTTLE BODY? CAN I RUN AN EARLY TRUCK (78MM) THROTTLE BODY? DOES A BIGGER THROTTLE BODY LOOSE LOW-SPEED TORQUE? HOW MUCH POWER IS A BIGGER THROTTLE BODY WORTH? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO WHERE I COMPARED A 92-MM FAST THROTTLE BODY TO A STOCK EARLY TRUCK 78MM THROTTLE BODY (USING AN ICT BILLET 4-HOLE TO 3-HOLE TB ADAPTER) ON A TBSS INTAKE. THE TST MOTOR WAS AN ALUMINUM 5.3L EQUIPPED WITH AN RHO LOW BUCK TRUCK CAM.
