Default how much am i hurting myself
im running a stock but ported TB with an elbow and a vic jr set up, how much if any HP/TQ am i leaving on the table?? would it be worth it to get a bigger TB?? my thinking is that with FI you are making your own air and forcing it to were it is going, so i did not think that say a 90 mm would do me much good?? am i crazy? thanks for any help

Dunno ! I think the tb set up you have will work good. The air should move quick through that tb and fill the intake fast to.

Some of the big dogs in 10.5 are running a 90mm so it can't be holding you back but about 10hp.
