im getting ready to take off my head to do some work to it........im going to get a new intake and throttle body since the head will be off and make a little easier for assembly....

im looking alot at the Edelbrock intake and maybe a the 70mm throttle body....

just wondering if there was any other intakes and throttle bodies i should look into before i make a purchase......

and maybe some insight on whether a sheetmetal intake like the STR etc....is more productive than one like the Edelbrock

any feed back is a appreciated

 

anybody?

 

check out the skunk2 manifold...and i dont know **** about TB's...

 

thanks alot...

can anyone else give me some feedback on which ones they seem to like and why

 

For boosted apps the edelbrock would be best. Stock tb is fine.

 

i am using a skunk2 with ls throttle body..i am satisfied with it

I guess it would all depend on how much power you want to make and where you want to make it. If it is a conservative setup, (i.e. around 300whp) then stock or just a Skunk 2 would work just fine. If you are going for the gold then I would look into the Edelbrock manifold.

 

the edelbrock is the one im really leaning toward.......

im not sure what throttle body size would be good.....65 or 70...

future plans are to turn boost up from 20 to about 30 with new turbo set up later......but at the moment im at 20

any more feedback is really appreciated.......thanks

 

How about the Rev-Hard manifold, I'm going to try one out soon. So far it looks pretty comperable to a Edelbrock manifold.

I personally would like to see the results on the Full Race manifold that should come out soon. The initial pictures looked interesting.

 

don't get any, just up the boost alittle, you'll gain more.

 

i was just reading today that a bigger throttle body, while making you "feel" faster will actually hurt you unless u are running a real high hp application..just my .02cents i dont know your situation

 

well thats what im wondering about the throttle body......i have heard you can go to big.....my plans are to get about 25 out of the turbo i got now and then save for the bigger turbo and intercooler i got in mind.....so the throttle body im not sure or right now...

i haven't looked at the revhard or the full race yet....im going to look at them now...

thanks for all the feedback....

anymore will be appreciated

 

I hear so many different things about the edelbrock its rediculous. Some ppl say its the best really no matter what PSI you are running if you are boosted. Others say you shouldnt get it unless running High HP or going to rev more than 8k. Anyone REALLY know?
