Bigger TB on stock y8
in 720° of crank shaft rotation all four pairs of 30mm intake valves open by 0.377 inches max. total flow area at the valve seat is 2.79sq/in. per cylinder. there is never more area for intake flow than this since, if there is any overlap (one cylinder closing on intake cycle while another is opening- probably for 15° between each...) neither is near 50% lift much less max lift.
the stock TB has an open area of 3.3sq/in. at wide open throttle (subtracting the area of the throttle plate shaft from the total).
3.3 > 2.79. there is not a flow bottleneck at the throttle body for stock internals.
