What mm size is the first gen Lightnings Thorttle Body?
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 enough8 YUR SS said:dont buy a 75mm, just look for a stock lightning tb

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.8 YUR SS said: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.

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 302Chris.C said: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
he didn't answer my question so i dont think he helped me at all, i did not ask what size throttle body should i get? i asked what would i gain by going from this size to this sizeSlow Five-O said:you're calling people that you don't know a liar? :rollseyes
he's just tryin to help. no sense in posting what they think though, you never listen to anybody in any other thread you post about either :bored:
I have mason's old 70mm t/b on my truck cause he downsized to a 65mm on his h/c/i 302...seems to be a pretty strong runnin car to me..gtownkid said: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 dontChris.C said:I have mason's old 70mm t/b on my truck cause he downsized to a 65mm on his h/c/i 302...seems to be a pretty strong runnin car to me..

i will when the car is ready, but last time i checked u did not run your best a month after the car was built. I am out of funds and havn't even drivin the car in a month now, its not ready to take a set of slicks on the back due to a stock clutch and needs a tune, but i will run you when its readySlow Five-O said:there are more than 1 type of GT40 head
and last i heard you were scared to put up your fully built 351 to my lil 302 :dw: :burnout:
