Default Throttle Body

Ok, so I know it is early but I am already looking into my winter project. I was told for more power, my best be and most ban for my buck is throttle body and get rid of the PCV for a dyno tune.


Do you all agree? Or should I go all in and do the CAMS as well?


When it comes to the throttle body; what's the difference between the 58 and 62MM and which one would you recommend?

If you have a stock motor, I wouldnt bother with a ported or larger throttle body. Spend your money first on cams, then ported heads. After you do that, a larger TB will get you a small gain on top of those.

Call Fuel Moto and tell them what your goals are. They have the knowledge and the dyno sheets to back it up.

I agree with the posts above. The absolute last thing you should consider would be a larger throttle body. Your motor needs to receive major upgrades first off then a larger throttle body can be added but the TB will only add minimal additional power. Maybe a 2-3 hp and tq gain over the stock OEM unit.
