I'm running a Skunk2 70mm, however, I also had the IM bored to match. Definitely better throttle response. Boring IM is a must to get gains.

I saw that SOS now offers boring out the stock to 70mm think that would be better than all these aftermarket ones?

I have the Spoon one that is a 70mm tapering to 64mm just like the SOS one so that the mani doesnt need to be bored also.

I dont have before and after dyno plots but for response alone I think it was worth it. (and I paid twice as much... damn you sos for releasing this so late hahha)

Nice good to know, You dont still have your stock one do you? I know SOS actually charges a core and you have to mail yours back I was thinking about just sending them one to do, If you still have it and want to get rid of it.

If you are interested in a BDL 70mm or 72mm PM me. CNC machined from billet and not tapered. You will see more gains from doing the port-matching to the intake manifold.

I had a BDL 74mm and It was a POS, it broke with about 50 miles on it. But was worth it with a port matched IM !

Just picked up a SOS bored out throttle body about 2 weeks ago and you can definatley feel better throttle response throughout the rpm's.

As for the 10 bhp gains we will find out when I get everything setup and tuned. I'm looking for 400 with the least ammount of boost needed and this should help with that goal.
