Talking Re: Waldig tearing apart his throttle body AGAIN>>>>

Clean up of the throttle body is more important to lower powered cars as you have less to work with and every bit helps. A 1% gain for me is like a 1.5% gain for you, like that. Restriction is a bad thing for warm air engines, it reduces the efficiency which reduces the horsepower. Woody

If you feel bumps, edges, serious bends, they are impeding the flow of air that you are PAYING to heat up and expand to push your pistons down.
