What if you match bore the tb and the intake manifold? Would that be better?

the only solo distributor of Spoon Sports is AJ Racing, they are very experienced with all the Spoon parts, and Ben is also a great sponsor of the site. I'd go talk to Ben for any Spoon parts any day of a week.

I have read somewhere on this board before that the only real gains are seen when the TB is added to a car with FI.

Dont' believe everything you read but anyways, it would really be more economical to just bore out your stock throttle body. Expect $150-200 for a good job but the downside is the downtime.

Everyone's experience is going to differ slightly but I agree with you there.

With FI, the increased TB opening will allow for more ultimate air flow to enter the intake manifold. One day I'll end up trying out a bigger TB but until then, there's a lot more mods I need to do before I do the TB.
