Amen to that... If I'm doing this I may as well do this, and if I do that I gotta upgrade this to take the power.... Tax returns are close tho...

And then once you have the upgrades to take the power, why not add more power? Seems logical to me ..... A viscious circle, lol! It's all fun and games until you try and explain it to your wife!

The added hp isn't the only benefit of the bigger throttle body. The bigger throttle blade moves more air at any given throttle position, making more power at part throttle and improving throttle response. It actually shows up on the butt dyno more than the real dyno. The dyno sheet is only a representation of a high gear 2k rpm roll on, not what you will feel at part throttle. As a tuner, you can see it if you start looking at lower throttle percentage power comparisons.

That would be the truth, I don't think I'll sleep much until it's all together and performing like it should. The recent nose dive of the Canadian dollar isn't helping things cost wise or the explaining situation ... Everything is coming out of the US.

I think you can get away/save some money by using a 50mm (even bore it out to 52) on 107 and below builds but the bigger bore should probably go 55+ just my thoughts, but I would also like to know for sure from a tuner.
