The title says it all..
We don't have any bone stock cars here and I have been working on a new throttle body that bolts directly to a non modified L jet or D jet plenum.. I'd only need the car for an afternoon, so hopefully someone in Atlanta or the surrounding areas can hep us gather some data on my chassis dyno.. The engine must be in a good state of tune, not worn out and not filled with "bugs" and issues.. We need a solid before and after comparative to polish off this developoment and get it on the market with known results. We have the bigger engines covered and don't need any test cars for those. A 100.00 Gift Certificate from my store will be awarded to the two people that help us out... Wait till you see this... Up to a 48mm taper bored throttle body that bolts right on in about 20 minutes! |

The previous experiences of others are hearsay, until I see it and gather the data it never really hits home.. Plus there is nothing like a back to back comparative.
We have installed larger throttle bodies on the stock plenums before, including a throttle body from a Ford Taurus SHO that was 65mm.. So this isn't my first rodeo with this, but it is the first time for the current technology on a stock plenum... Thats why I must experience the differences and gather data... So I can answer your questions and challenges with absolute responses. Nothing like slapping some smart ass in the face with real data... Thats more fun than actually gathering it! The throttle body design that I am using has never been applied to this arrangement before as it basically has the characteristics of a velocity stack all the way to the top of the throttle plate. FWIW I have used these are individual runner throttle bodies, in pairs on large MassIVe engines.... and they don't come from a Motorcycle.. I'll post pics when I get a chance. Jason, Blake recommended that I talk ton you- I know that engine is built right, so I'd definitely like to evaluate the arrangement on it... John, same goes for you.. We just need to get all 3 of the cars together and do all the comparatives the same day.. Maybe one Saturday in the next month or so??? This post has been edited by Jake Raby: Jul 30 2009, 07:53 PM |

I can't see anything but win coming from this. I have a bone stock car, it is a shame I am up in baltimore. Does a hot-spark module and egr/decel valve removal on L-jet still mean stock in your book? |
