« on: 04 April 2010, 02:43:25 »

iv been looking around and cant make my mind up if getting larger Throttle Bodys would make any difference my old man runs his own engineering company with cnc's so could have some made to suit but has anybody done this and would it give a better throttle response .cheers

Won't make a noticible difference.  The throttle bodies are plenty large enough.

Agreed.

Only if there's alot of other work - such as cams, porting, injectors, exhaust mods, re-mapping etc - would it be worth considering.
One big balancing act though............

No point shoving more fuel in if it would simply be wasted!

2.6 TB's are same as 3.2 from what i've read on here, so yours certainly are no t restrictive.

3.2 cams and manifolds are the way to go going by Mark dtms work on Mick Dundees car.

and yes Martin, and yours.... ::)

2.6 and 3.2 manifolds are the same.

3.0 cams work and so does a 3.0 inlet divider and matched ports on the head
