5.4 throttle bodies

Will a 70mm throttle body make a noticeable difference in performance? Already have Diablo chip, K&N intake system, and Vortek flow-thru muffler.

5.4 throttle bodies

A larger throttle body only makes sense if the existing throttle body has a significant restriction at wide open throttle. In general, larger diameter openings are not desirable for part-load conditions. Remember the good old days of four barrel carbs, with small primaries and large secondaries. Most of the time the engine ran quite well with the small primary openings.

Go to www.edelbrock.com. I got one and it made it open up alot faster. Don't listen to the guy about the four barrel carbs.
