Default throttle body/horsepower?
I was just wondering if I can expect much change in the way of horsepower with a new throttlebody. I am also wondering what would be best for street use.

Not much to this point. CAI, underdrive pulleys, and shorties.

if the stock one isnt imposing a restriction, then there is nothing to be gained or the gains will be minimal.

I have a 70mm BBK for sale if youre interested. Gains will be minimal but you will need it down the road.

Really scary throttle issue, Bullitt tuning or something wrong here.
