bigger throttle body
Hi,
Need some input regarding bigger (MLS) throttle body for sc'd s2000.
What kind of gains to expect if any.
Also do any of you guys have the j's racing carbon hood. How do you like it?

I put on the RM Racing exhuast (dyno'd at 7 HP on a stock S2000) and a rebored Proflow TB on my Supercharged S2000 and dyno'd 15 HP increase. I didn't dyno the parts seperately, but I think for $150 for the Proflow TB is worth it.

As I understand, MLS big throttle body is around $880-$900 and because it is not an exchange but stand alone.
Also, I believe it is nothing special than Spoon's or Proflow's bored out throttle body.
I wouldn't expect money's worth after this even with Super charger.

On a 240 hp, NA 2.0 liter I would be suprised to see a 10 hp gain from a throttle body. 3-4 hp is about max of what I would expect. If Honda could have put 250 hp on the paper by increasing the TB bore a few millimiters, I suspect they would have done so.

Had a question for you guys with the TB's....
Did you have your intake manifold drilled/bored to accept the larger TB's? I just ordered mine, and was wondering if this is necessary...
Thanks!
