Yep, post 17 says it all. What's the matter with you son? TB before headers?

My mistake, are those 1 5/8 or 1 3/4? I know a few people that have used Professional Products and never heard of any complaints. It's up to you in the end, but I think a set of LT headers would probably gain you more HP than the TB.

I recently upgraded my throttle body from a 52mm stock ported to a Professional Products Part#PP69702 58mm and have no complaints or issues. Product quality is as good as the ones that cost 2-3 times as much,IMO.

i was just wondering what i could se with my current set up if i were to upgrade the TB. theres one for sale in the classifieds section and wanted to know if i should take it into concideration. but your right i should go with long tubes over a TB. like i stated i have mac mids. i believe there 1 3/4" but i could be mistaken. and i had gotten them because they werent a pain to install lol i dont have to worry about emissions im ordering some tires this weekend and next weekend then i have to freshen up my brakes and someitme in january i hope to have my LT's on order

Sounds like a plan. The only reason I asked about primary size is that my oringinal headers were 1 5/8ths and actually blocked some of the exhaust port on my LE heads.
