Re: New CAI PICS/Measurements
You have to be one of the most hard headed people I have ever found on any forums. You dont even know what you are talking about on a P&P throttle body. Why dont you do some homework and look at any LS1 website, they are all over them. Then you can come back and post with some knowledge of what a P&P throttle body looks like. (mayby some new pictures too!) All you want to do is put down people. I dont care what you do for a living, how old you are, how much money you have or how many cars you have modified from a street car to top fuel dragster for you daily driver getting 30mpg and a topspeed of 333mph! You are still just an internet bench racer!! Why dont you dyno your own car and take your car to the track, or give us some bright ideas so we can rip on you. If you dont like what you read then close the thread and move on, or post something a bit nicer than calling everything I do trash, or its not going to work, blah blah......
For my car having only a CAI, (which I proved you wrong) the other small "mods" must have helped some!! My numbers were more than impressive. I never said you were going go gain 15whp from everything you do. Now back to the throttle body. You can remove around 1.5mm per side, tapering it up from the blade to the top, increasing velocity! Yes, even on your s/c engine. Narrowing the shaft is common sense, more volume at the smallest point, the more it has a chance of flowing, and yep thats right, equaling more power in the end.
I dont think anybody really cares that you post pics of a torn down motor. Thats cool and all, but not on the subject. Dam now you are "specialist" arent you! Why dont you put that thing back together and in a car, and we will see how your stock 13degree throttle body finely tuned stock German machine runs. Oh yeh, with those cute hose clamp pics you posted.
But I am still here for fun, and will keep posting of each mod I do, with pics and what I think of it. I just prefer you not to reply and run your mouth unless you have a positve note on the thread, or probably anybodies thread for that matter. We are all on here for the same reason, sit down and think about it. We all own the same car and want to go faster. Why dont you join in on those good things.
