SMS Big Bore Throttle Body...
Hey guys. Who's using this? I'm pretty sure this is a direct bolt-on. Just curious what people's thought's/experiences are on this:
Looks like this might be a good mod to do at the same time as a ported blower.

You know the one picture won't work right? They do make one but it wasn't really a big bore it was ported and there wasn't much of a difference reported from the person who used it.

From what I've heard... no noticable power gains... I don't see how much gain could be netted from such a minor increase in size.
Remember... just like your exhaust... any intake mods will only be as good as the smallest part...

Remember guys, just cause you're supercharged doesn't mean you need a huge or bigger throttle body. Your throttle body still is bringing in ambient air flow where the velocity of the airflow is just like an naturally aspirated engine (in a way). Basically, you're not making a bigger hole for more compressed air (like for example an turbocharged unit would).
Hopefully this made sense.

I have it, i didn't feel any real gains from it, but what it did do was get rid of that slight pause between the time you hit the gas, and the car starts moving. I think for for $200 to gett rid of that you can't go wrong.
Yes it is a direct bolt on.
