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! |

This is certainly not what I expected down here. Group: Members Posts: 849 Joined: 21-May 09 From: Bodymore Murderland Member No.: 10,389 Region Association: MidAtlantic Region |
A nice plenum and throttle body combination coupled with a replacement rubber boot for the air flow meter to throttle body would be very sweet. Kit to replace all of that, and I bet you would see real gains. You could play with shortening the intake runners too and get rid of the rubber plenum to intake runner hoses.
I think the L-jet boots are no longer available, and all of them are junk by now or held together with sealants. The plenum on the motor I think is a problem as well after looking at it more. Either way, if it makes power that is a win. If it replaces the l-jet throttle bodies that are now requiring custom machined bushings and modifications to not stick, seal well and etc it is still a win. I looked at another 2 throttle bodies this weekend, same as mine with excess shaft play and probably leaking an excess of unmetered intake air behind the air flow meter! |
