[gtownkid]

What mm size is the first gen Lightnings Thorttle Body?

 

[Lightning Kid]

65 mm

damn i need a new throttle body bad! I have a F4TE 351w with ported tfs highports, tfs stage 3 cam and tfs intake and my stock 302 throttle body which is 58mm I wonder how much extra hp i would gain by going to a 75mm?

dont buy a 75mm, just look for a stock lightning tb

dude for one i dont have a Lightning just the shortblock and i need bigger than a freaking 65mm, i was just wondering how big a L one was. Now i want to know what kinda gain im goin to get from going from a 58mm to a 75mm. I will turn this motor to 6700 and with heads that flow 309cfm a 65mm is not going to be enough

ok, just trying to help you out. Some lightning guys have gone deep, deep in the 11's with the stock t-body but whatever. I have a 75mm t-body and it was a waste of money. I have even heard of some people loosing power because of the bigger tbody.

sorry bro but i dont see an n/a Lightning with a 65mm throttle body going deep 11's maybe one on bottle or boosted but that puts a whole new spin on what u need.

don't bother 8yurss...he has a history of not listening to a damn thing people say when they are trying to help. he doesn't even have a lightning he has a 351 in a fairmont

 

[8 YUR SS]

sweet, let me go on a vintage mustang forum and ask some ???'s about my lightning since some of their mustangs have 351w. Makes sense right :wf:

i already posted i did not have a L fool, but the i figured around here more poeple would be fimilar with 351w and the power gains from different mods. chris u know u would not put a frekaing 65mm t/b even a heads cam 302

last time i checked he had gt40 heads so honestly i dont consider that a good set of heads, maybe if they flowed 300cfm but they dont
