The Riced Sleeper
So i've decided to kinda re-do my build a little since I have to pull the head anyway to fix my compression leak. Reason it's taken me so long to fix is cause i've been debating if I wanna change out parts already. My main question here is on an all motor setup such as mine when is too big of a throttle body too much? Here's the current list: bolded are things that I'm upgrading with new mods next to them all Skunk2

Will be getting the IM and TB port matched but before ordering the tb wanted to know if bigger is better for my setup?
 
well in the mirage n/a world bigger is always better. stock ive got a 48mm opening, and right now im at 56. 1.5 sohc

the 1.8 sohc guys run the 60mm tb. stock is 52.

definately a big difference when i put the bigger throttlebody on, with the phenolic spacers.

my next upgrade will be some sort of custom intake manifold.
