Default New Q's on TB 80mm to 85mm

I have the bbk SSI intake maifold with a 85mmtb on it my question is if I go to 85mm tb will I gain anything. I have searched and came with nothing. I would assume that there will be some gain but not sure. Is this a worth wile upgrade or should I do something else?

Thanks
Tony

I assume you mean you have an 80mm tb?

If you do how do you like it? I just bought one and I haven't installed it yet.

if your going from a 80mm to an 85mm don't expect big gains maybe 5 horsepower I would suggest saving that money for something else

adidazman15 I had to adjust the angle of the blade to idle correctly but other then that I like it it matchs my bbk intake nicely

VFNAndrew this is more or less what I was looking for thanks for the reply
