Just got done with my throttle body see what ya guys think..This was my first one. on the back side where the TB meets the intake towards the top there is alot of aluminum there to be removed to be the same diameter of the intake opening. The front, i rounded that lip over and gave the whole thing a polish job with a dremel, buffing wheel and mothers aluminum polish.

It looks good. Are you going to cut the throttle blade shaft and feather edge the blade?

 

yeah i probaly will, I got it al shined up after about 4 or 5 hours of work and it looked all perty so i stuck it on there. That was my first throttle body i have done and never really thougt about the the shaft but what is feather edging ?

 

Feather edging is thinning the leading and trailing edges of the throttle blade. You also need to modify your throttle bump stop to allow the throttle blade to open all the way.

 

The throttle blade actually opens farther then it should be at WOT. so there shouldnt be any need of modifing the bump stop.

 

If it opens farther than 90 degrees you should probably install a limiting screw.

 

were would the limiting screw go?...through the side of the TB??? this is a drive by wire TB nnb 87MM...well 90 now...lol

 

did you notice any gains from all that work?

 

yes alot of gain, i would suggest n e one to do it, its easy and cheaper then buying one

 

better question, would my 4.8 with few mods notice that?
