Hey guys,

Good day,

I've heard about manual throttle bodies that can be done on our boss cars .

If any1 know the advantages and dissadvatages of them i would be glad to know.

And what is the purpose of going aftermarket throttle bodies ?? Performance ? Throttle response ??

Thanx !!

The only purpose of a manual throttle body for our cars would be to retro fit the engine into an older car. Still, I would rather fit a electric gas pedal assemble. Keep the electronics right.

A larger throttle body allows more air to flow into the engine. Just like adding a larger 4 barrel onto an older V-8. Some work great.

With the newer engines much depends upon the tune. Like in the old days, a tuner can make or break an engine. Today the tuner works with a laptop. ;D
