Default Throttle Body and MAF for $250?

I am going to have to disagree on this statement, ported MAF ends will in fact add more top end horsepower and so will the ported thottle body.

I personally would some ported MAF ends and a ported throttle body from Shaner, jantzer, or thunder racing. combined those two things will get you about 15 rwhp and much better throttle response for around $250. (Quote from Bad Habit Bird)

Where can i find a throttle body and MAF for $250???

From Thunder Racing you can get the ported MAF ends (not granatelli) for $100, and a TR ported TB for $150 (plus $200) core charge. That seems to be what you're asking for, minus the core charge. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> This is what I plan on doing in any case.

If you wanna pay more go for the granatelli and the BBK TB, but for 250 bones u can't beat the ported maf ends and the TR TB, I wouldn't make any quotes on what you would get HP-wise, but anytime you get more air you get more power right? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> And definitely better throttle response!!

Thunder Racing??? Generic??? hehe, I think they do good work, in fact, most of my mods on my car have come from them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> The BBK throttle body "may" add more power, and it is definitely "prettier", oh yeah, and it's also definitely $250 more <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

For the throttle body, I take off the linkage of my old one and place it on the new one, correct?

sounds crazy but it is really almost that simple. You unhook stuff from old TB, hook stuff back up to new TB ( way simplified ) It's a very simple bolt on upgrade. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
