That is a valid point, they were iron. Very, very worked iron. But you still arent going past 12 with alum without det problems..on 93 octane anyway.
What if you were to slap a 90mm on a bone stock 5.0?
I'm sure it's been done before
Sorry, what was the need to swap to a 90MM? Too big a TB will result in decreased part throttle response and MPG with no increase in performance.
well, does it feel quicker?
So this happened last night:
...Finally.
I don't want to jump the gun, but drove the car some last night, and then drove it to work this morning in rush hour traffic. NO tuning changes, didn't even check TPS voltage.
ZERO change in drivability. NO problems with low speed, part throttle operation. You could drive this thing in a walking parade if you wanted to.
BTW, this is a 90mm Accufab in case you haven't guessed already. Previous throttle body (as seen above), that I had been running for years on two different engine combos and 3 different intakes, was a 70mm BBK.
This is of course on my 302.
I know I'm not the first dude to put a 90 on a 302, but this is just one more data point as to why you should never waste money on a tiny throttle body.
Maybe in new engines but our dinosaurs don't like pump gas past 10.5. Know how I know?
So when am I gonna see this pile at the track?!
Finally! Someone who picks up on my humor.
Man, I dunno, and I've been itching for it. LORP is closed until the 24th I believe, but even then it's been crazy hot and my car doesn't have AC.
Whenever I do, I'm gonna try to drag along my buddies with a WRX and a 'Speed Miata so we can have a tubro-noise **** show haha.
