Throttle body questions/suggestions

[CCM302]

Some of you may remember I'm building a 5.8 R motor. I've seen that most use the stock 90mm that comes with the engine. Would there be any benefit in stepping up to the 100mm tb that Dragon offers? I know the Dragon is mostly for boosted applications. I guess I'm curious is to whether anyone has tried one and if it's worth it or not. Or just go with an accufab 90mm and call it a day.

5.8 '95R motors came with a 65mm TB. The biggest TB I've heard of for that style of upper intake, is a 75mm, and you need to match port a 75mm TB. I don't know what you'd have to do to the upper intake to get a 90mm to fit, let alone a 100mm TB. :shrug:

Good luck with your project.

I should've clarified....this is a mod motor. FGT motor bored to a 5.8 w/ '00R intake.
