What's the latest take on knife-edging the TB blade?
 
I was looking at the new 95mm and was thinking about knife-edging the leading edge. Good idea or no?

waste of time on a 95mm throttle body.You might gain .000001 hp,if your lucky

The guy I worked with offered to do it for me so it is a free .000000001 HP so I figured why not.

well if thats the case why not

Because it can ruin the TB altogether. YOu dont want to mess with the blade. If it accidentally doesnt get done perfect youl have idle issues because the blade wont be able to seal the throttle bore like its designed.

NOT WORTH IT....

Yea that the reason you only touch the leading edge not the back sealing edge. My TB also doesn't have the common bleed hole and I was debating about adding that.

Don't do it!

dont knive edge it, not worth the risk...only have a tuner drill a hole for the bleed hole if it is necessary...

i wouldnt mess with the blade for the little difference it may or may not make in performance. It doesnt seem like its worth it.
