 Subject: bigger throttle body??
IP: Logged
Message:
Hi I have an 99 R/T with the following mods
KN cold air intake
50mm flowmetrics
M1 intake manifold
B&G flash
electric fan
1.7 roller rockers
PPH headers
removed cat and installed flowmaster Y pipe
autolite 3923
relocated IAT
does anybody know if I would see any gains by going to a 52mm throttle body???
I got spanked last saturday night by a silverado diesel truck with some kind of Diablo tuner .

I'd say your next mod should probably be a cam. You probably wouldn't see much more difference from a 2mm larger TB.

yeah I've been thinking about it but there seems not to be many cams for 1.7 rockers

krcperformance.com should have a mild cam that can be used with 1.7rrs. give them a holler.
as far as the tb, upgrading 2 mms when you already have a flowmetrics 50mm and an m1, you most likely wont notice any gains. give the cam a look, maybe put in some taller gears too if you're after better 1/4 mile times.

Did you try krcperformance? I'm sure they have one. From everything i've read the cam is usually what really wakes up an r/t. There are also pulleys available for your truck from aspracing. The msd ignition for your truck is supposed to be good for an instant 11rwhp .

Talk to Sam Parthemer at www.socaldakota.com he can set you up with a custom grind cam for around $300.00 U.S
KRC are crooks and buyer beware there.

I was not going to respond on your last comments
but everything I got for my truck except for the rockers and the B&g flash I got them from Marty,
he was and still is very helpfull when I got a question or too,as for the word crook those are very strong words. I don't want to start another tread here ,so thats just my two cents.

Everything I've got from KRC has been quality and all the guys there are more than happy to answer any and all questions. I wonder why you call them crooks?

the 4.7 a 68mm is the best as I have just tried one from FastMan even tho the new generation believes bigger is better it still holds to be untrue,as was in in the Carb. days.
I run a KB blower and the 68mm runs fine with no change that I can feel from the 65mm the clean up is all that is needed. add a 72mm and you will loose instead of gain.
