that one, and a thread on modded mustang's where a few big wig's in this hobby chimed in is what changed my mind about the hole deal.

that one was with the guy with the SN-95 had just got his car together, with a spider intake and 90mm throttle body, and was doing burnouts and such, saying how it had a ton of low down torque.

http://sbftech.com/index.php/topic,15585.0.html

as for the headers debate , this topic has been beat to death, one theroy to prove the smaller/ restrictive header = better, is un cap your exhaust and run open headers, why is the car always faster running open headers??? exactly, less restriction in the system, the idea of an engine is that it is one large air pump, so when trying to create / add performance the more air you can move through it efficiently the quicker it'll make power, that's why we install larger valves in heads, larger heads with larger intake and exhaust ports, cams with better profiles, bigger intakes, and bigger carbs, matching components are key, if you put a 950 carb on a stock engine and don't tune for such then yes it'll be to big, but give the engine what it needs to breath and not restrict it's point of entry and then get ready to hold on!!!

Your logic makes no sense.

OP - Go out and do some research on the topic through Google and avoid taking advice from someone who describes their car as an "87 piece of ****" Good luck - 65-70mm will be fine.

i can obviously tell where your level automotive knowledge is. i humbly invite you to the world of SBFTECH.com please enlighten those guys why their throttle body's headers, carbs etc are too big. trust me you will always see my tail lights with your way of thinking. you will ALWAYS be a follower with your mentality

also as far as my car goes. thats the nickname i gave it from when i first bought it. have you seen my build thread? take a look. ive got more in my roller than i am sure you have in your entire car you idiot. also about your comment about taking advice from someone who calls their car a "piece of ****" ive helped more people on here then you can imagine. i have been here since 05!!

Great job on the dyno run!

Seriously guys, we go from nothing but the same old questions to 2 no it alls in a week. The entertainment on here can be priceless sometimes. Just so you know goathead you are not going to win any battle you start on here. We have been through pretty much every debate you can imagine with guys who think they know it all or keep preaching on the same fact being spun around 20 different ways.

I'm not trying to win a debate here, but the OP should see all sides of it and look at ALL the information there is out there which apparently supports both arguments and that a lot more goes along with the "what throttle body should I get" question.

Flat out getting yes/no advice from a forum isn't the best thing to do in most cases. Getting background data and knowledge that the forum users have to help you make an INFORMED decision should be what it's about.

thats true there is always a right and wrong way of doing things. unfortunately its just more expensive doing things twice

Ok, so im getting mixed threads.aw buddy with a 5.0 boosted from a fairly large tubro, pulley driven yata yata yata.

Cant remember the heads or anything,

But what i do remember was me asking:
Bobert: what size throttle body is that?
Dude: stock
Bobert: shouldnt you run larger with those heads and the boost?
Dude: dont need larger, the airs being forced in.

So i walked away, from my logic, no matter how hard your pushing air, the size of the hole matters?

So is this guy just ****ing up? Or proving the size therom?
