Default ported Throttle body

Cant see how it would hurt but looking for guys with experience adding a ported throttle body to there cam only cars. I can see better throttle response but no real horsepower that you will see lower track times. Looking to add what I can and keep the car cam only. Had pullies and electric water pump on my list.

It can hurt. IMHO it wouldn't be worth doing. Save up for a real TB, MAF and manifold. Porting, pulleys and water pump would pay for a couple of those things or even heads and give a better bang for the buck

Already running ls6 manifold. it cost $80 on exchange and isn't hurting the wallet. At my power level a maf and different manifold would be money id rather use towards a electric water pump and pulleys. Still looking to go truck coils.

Depending on the port it should add 5-7 hp along w/ better Throttle response.

At the price, just do it. It'll be worth a handful of hp and it'll def help with throttle response. I would think that the hp and throttle response would be amplified a lil bit by the fact your'e cammed as well

Ps- Reppin Monmouth County here too! lol

You can pick up a 85mm truck maf off Ebay for 40-50 bucks, it will help but you'll also need a tune and I wouldn't Spend $300-500 bucks on the Ewp. You could definitely spend that in other places.

Thanks, I'll def check out the 85mm truck MAF. As for the waterpump I bracket race just about every weekend and the car is nowhere near a DD. Having the ability to keep the pump running while the car is off is huge with keeping temps down between rounds
