why do you think ive had my MM IRS Subframe bushings sitting in a bag for almost 2yrs? hahahahahahahahahahaha
nazman, excellent post. awesome how you pointed out the gains through the rpm range, instead of just "peak" hp gain.

Did they build the faucking car around those bushings or what?!?!
i think so i heard the easiest way to get the stock ones are at to get a torch, and melt the faaackers off :rockon:

I am soooo keeping that in mind, because i heard it SUCKS to get them out. MM even has a special tool to remove them and such :lol:

I helped an '03 guy changes his and yeah, it's a total pita. I wish we had thought of the torch, although I'm not sure it's all that safe down there around the gas tank . . . : :burn: :lol1: Another tip I've heard is that since the new urothane bushings are harder obviously they are definitely a pita x 2 to get back in but if you freeze them over night in your freezer they'll contract ever so slightly and go in a tad bit easier. I'm definitely gonna try that when I do mine . . . and like you guys I've had all of my suspension pieces in the garage for 1.5 yrs . . .
At any rate, back to this new TB, I have two questions:
1). How beneficial would this new larger TB for someone w/ bolt-ons, a ported intake plus a 100 or 150 shot N2O? Theoretically that would put me in the 450 - 500 hp range?
2). Are any of you N2O guys running more than a 100 shot using a larger maf like this one from SCT? SCT Big Air MAF It's my understanding that the stock MAF for or cars is good to about 400 hp or so, so if I'm pushing past that point I keep wondering if I will need a bigger MAF like this one.
. . . I understand that there would need to be some requisite fuel system upgrades and tuning in order to make all of this work safely but I'm just trying to get a game plan together.
i think with NO2, the TB would help....
Back to the original topic, I sent an email to accufab. "There is a debate over at SVTPERFORMANCE.COM about your TB, as a potential customer I would like to see your input on this.

Nice thought but I doubt they will show up over here and expose themselves to criticism. Also, I think only "approved registered vendors" can post officially here.
Nice try though, I wish more vendors could come in and give their side of things. :beer:
Maybe they will read the post and email me.REX-RACER said:
svtperformance doesn't have enough vendors, they should make it like modularfords, thats where everyones at, we have like what 6 official vendors and 3 on the main page?

I agree. Not to mention Steig will port a stock throttle body for a lot less than $390.

It may help a little, but I wouldn't expect much, maybe 2-4HP across the range with nitrous. The reason being that nitrous carries it's own oxygen with it - it doesn't require more oxygen to be drawn in through the intake tract. Provided the throttle body already there isn't a restriction (it isn't), an aftermarket unit won't help you much. It also cools the air charge making it more dense, resulting in less volume and thus less affected by restriction.
Naz - if your setup doesn't gain more than 5hp/5tq at peak (and probably across the range), then I don't know what to say. Your motor flows SO much more air than most of ours, it's ignorant.
Well even after hearing you guys dog this product I am still buying it because I have been driving my car alot recently and that throttle response sucks! So i think this will make the car more fun to drive.
Good move.JebTonkin said:
You WILL feel the difference.
The motor will be snappier on tip in and the midrange will feel stronger.
Keep track of your MPG before and after, and let us know what you get.
Betcha gain some.

Wait, so according to your signature you still have a stock gear, but you're looking to a throttle body for in improvement in performance? :idea:
