Gosh I'm witty! Title: Re:HOLLEY BIG BORE THROTTLE Post by: CaddyRob on February 18, 2003, 10:48:00 pm In combination with other mods the bigger bore throttle body is worth it, but on its own, I would say no. Now if you got a header, and ported out the head and did some intake work, you may find it worth the bigger bore. It has to be part of a package, its no wonder mod!

I've heard some say boost the 92 horses to 110-120 but others mentioned not that much If you go on PFF you will find thousands of threads, some suggest Cam swap, check it out. Was never intended to be a powerful engine and there are restrictions, plus with gas prices may not be a bad idea to mod for mileage.

Title: Re:HOLLEY BIG BORE THROTTLE Post by: fiero308 on February 19, 2003, 09:58:36 am CaddyRob is right; it will only pay off if it is done in conjunction with other mods that create freer flow - head porting, maybe intake manifold porting; headers or improved exh system; and a CAM to make the engine breathe deeper. By itself (if you go TOO big) it might even create driveability problems - air velocities at idle and low spd might not be high enough etc.
Good luck and keep us posted on what you do and how it turns out! |
