for any sheet metal manifold i would go with a mustang tb

 

talk to zip, he has experience with a number of TB's and recommends the bbk over them all. I'm looking at one also.

I use a 70mm Mustang TB, i got for 20bucks, and its shiny too, bbk rips honda off, look howm much the Mustanf TB in 70mm costs the domestics it s like half price.

 

Yeah but you cant just bolt up the mustang throttle body, right? If that is true looks like i am getting a mustang one.

 

you cant just bolt up a mustang TB. IT just wont work. I think if you design custom sheetmetal intake then that is the way to go.

 

i got mine brand new... its was something like 180 shipped... go try to get a honda tb for that price

 

**** you cant even find a honda tb for that price A GSR one for that. you damn right tom thats hell of a deal.

 

i don't know if its still like this, but a few months ago some companies were advertising those bbk and holley TB's and they were unavailable or almost impossible to get.

and for the 360 or so dollars, is it really worth the gain in with a FI car?

 

oh well.
i ordered it from summit it was $320.


the JG is not a sheet metal manifold.....its cast

 

really? i ordered the holley 68mm...i think it was last summer...it took so long <months> that i finally just cancelled it and used the money for something else. maybe they're finally stocking them now. i really don't know what kind of gains to expect, thouugh. anyone?

 

Depending on what setup you are going for the 70mm is usually overkill. Most manifolds are not even large enough for them(bore size). I had one and I would just fall flat if I went past 1/2 throttle. Just my experience. The jg 65mm does look like a good choice.

 

Will the mustang 70mm bolt up to the Victor X manifold? Anyone know? I would be interested in doing this combo if this would work....

 

it does not work. You can only use a factory bolt pattern tb.

 

just for those who were interested

summit is not on backorder on these parts
and i ordered a JG manifold from them and it came in 2 days, so i dont think its on backorder either
