Default which mod, between the two?

OK, did the headers, now im looking at either the SLP ported/polished throttle body, or the under-drive pulley, the TB is cheaper, do they both net about the same gains? I will eventually do both, bu for now is one at a time!

Also, would it be better to get the 80mm TB, or is that overkill for my car, and does the 80mm fit everything or is thier modification needed?

just port/polish your t/b. the 80mm aftermarket t/b's actually use a tapered spacer to reduce it back down to the stock 75mm. 80's are nice if you have a metal intake you can open up to match.

Have Smokin87TA port/polish your stock TB, it's def worth it and the workmanship is fantastic.

The pulley is much more expensive, and can be a pain in the *** to install. Even though the pulley gains may be a tad bit higher, I'd do the throttle body.

Buy the under drive and port your own TB. So that way you are only buying one.

The Sponsors from SLP on the site can probably get you what you need. The director of Engineering is on this site.

well, as u can see in my sig, ive already ported mine, but it was me and not a pro, so i dont know how effective i was. Ive got a friend that has the tools to do the UDP and has done it before, so think ill do that. He also has a Ported and polished throttle body for his firehawk that he doesent use anymore. He said all we would have to do is swap the blades. Thanx for the insight guys. My friend also said to stay away from the SLP TB.
