Throttle Body

I thought by now I was going to get some smart ass response like "search for it". Ha thats very surprising.
 
when they are going to get it bored out are they have to a bigger ventury(butterfly) or will the stock one seal?

I dont think so, but i havent had mine done so i cant tell you for sure
At least your honest and didn't tell me some bulls***.(thank you). I've some guesstamated bulls*** on here, but if one does know please give me the 411.
 
Yeah the price is ridiculous though. f that

Edit: actually, I just looked at the site again to refresh my memory. They sell two versions: ridiculously priced Auto EXE TB, and a cheaper bored out stock TB option(still too much cost for my tastes).

I'll just bore out my stock one at a local shop. No need to pay crazy prices for something I already have.
 
The problem with boring out the throttle body is you do need a ventury with a wider diameter to properly seal. Additionally, the whole TB boring process is something useless unless the Intake Manifold-to-Throttle Body port is matched to the newly widened diamter of the throttle body port. As is in the case when a head and manifold aren't port matched, this creates "walls" effectively damming air and creating eddies within the plenum-- disrupting the objective laminar flow to the head. This (obviously) creates some rather strange flow patterns within the manifold plenum itself.

I have no idea if this would significantly change (for the worse) the results from a bored TB, but I do know that when porting an intake manifold, a manifold outlet port of wider diameter than the head inlet port produces this same effect, and the result is highly detrimental to improvement-- in cases such as these you might actually see worse performance over the unmodified manifold.

In two weeks i'm sending my head to ken at protegegarage to do a port and polish and buying their intake manifold so i guess i should just talk to him about that and see what he's got to say.

It's a valid concern.
