if i dont bore my TB, will that hurt me?
i'm at the tail end of an 8 month build in my 2000 Si. i'm going with ctr pistons&cams, itr valvetrain/blox IM/yada yada yada.
I have a stock throttle body. Will this build be pointless if i don't get the TB bored out? Will it really hinder my performance that much? I have searched, and there are a lot of "bore throttle body" topics, but they don't really address this issue. I am really looking for knowledge on the subject. I mean, sure, logically, the bigger bore, more air flow, but I just want to know how important/necessary it is to bore the TB with a blox intake manifold. please teach me.
Thanks!!!

there is such a thing as too big for NA throttle bodies...but i'd say boring out just a few mm would be a significant performance booster for your setup
maxbore.com is actually the work of a fellow ht poster, and he does GREAT work on throttle bodies, even does the tunneling effect like spoon. good luck

what exactly do you mean by "tunneling"? is that like tapering the inlet? i am looking at getting a local shop to do mine so i want to know if he can do this and if i want him to do it. thanks.

I would find out how much the local guy is gonna charge you to do it, and if its anywhere near $100 I would def send it to maxbore.
Maxbore is the best tb work I have seen personally. (only really seen a few.) But its totally perfect.
