Not trying to steal the tread, but a stock throttle body wont work on a trickflow intake ? I'm getting that intake soon, so i guess i'll have to get another throttle body soon ?

The opening on my street heat manifold is 70mm and I've also got a 70mm throttle body, they work good together. You'll be happy with that combo. Just make sure that you've got a good flowing filter/CAI and larger MAF.

Wow, good thing i just got a 73mm maf, just need to get a different sample tube, i'm gonna wait till the dyno to see what they say about it tho, i guess some aftermarket MAF's dont work very good. But thats pertty much chokin that motor. I'll check out some TB's. Thanks guys

Some tuners dont like the C&L mafs, they prefer the Pro-M style... dont ask me why.
