A bored TB is useless w/o a bored manifold inlet! Gotta match.. 62mm is legit.

Got the dyno sheet to prove it? Spacers only work on vehicles with a carburator, so those gains probably came from somewhere else.

i purchased the throttle body spacer from rusty's i think it's a "i want to feel a difference" but i didn't feel anything really
deff get a flap wheel put it in your throttle body and bore to 62mm
FREE WIN, you can't beat it

Make sure you clean out all the shavings and such before running the motor after boring.

Not something good to run through the motor.

A stock TB is 60mm above the plate, and 55 below the plate. Dont bore your own out to 62MM unless you already have a 62MM plate...or guess what....you got a big problem. Only bore to 60mm............or better yet....buy one of mine

I bought one from thexjfiles... Definitely recommend his bored TB. Good price, fast to ship, and a quality job... much easier than me finding the time to do it myself and hoping I don't screw it up!
