    Default Throttle body's

    Do the bigger ones actually make a difference I understand how more air and all that works but is it really worth buying one?

    You're saying to go forced induction or to do a throttle body and I plan on getting ported heads eventually

    He's saying that in his opinion if you are going forced induction, then the larger throttlebody would be a good idea.

    Thank you sir, sorry im all over the place tonight. From what ive learned anything more than a 52mm on a n/a build is not really necessary, but on forced induction it is. Only reason my father inlaw got the tpis 58mm is for baller status.
