I am just curious, but how much will a 'performace' throttle body increase
hp? Do they also help to increase gas mileage, granted that you stay off the
gas? I am going to order a QuickD TB this week or next week, and would like
some additional input on them. The reason I decided to go with QuickD rather
than anyone else, will be explained later....some people make promises they
don't keep. I figure a TB will finish off my air intake mods, since I have
done the following, I figure a performance TB is needed to cap off my intake
mods:
-Removed the 'air restrictor plate' at the grill for the factory cold air
duct
-Added an Amsoil 2Stage Hi-Flow Air Filter
-Tornado Air Management System, dont laugh.....I got suckered into it about
3 years ago, it hasnt done anything help my truck, but I just like to say I
have one :)
-Grafted in a second factory cold air intake duct, using a 4" duct. I bought
a stock air filter housing(round type from a GenII Dak) and cut out the
'neck' and part of the metal round housing which connects the cold air duct
to the filter housing. The part I cut out just is the area around the
housing's duct 'neck'. I then cut a hole the size of the neck and slid the
neck and metal housing over this hole in my filter housing, sealing it up
with clear silicon and 4 stainless steel screws. I then ran the factory air
duct(which I also got with the housing I bought) and connected it to a 4"
duct, which I bought at PepBoys and ran this duct to the grill, right about
the factory air duct. If you look, there is a second rectangular hole in the
grill right above the rectangular hole the factory air duct uses. I mounted
another neck, same as the one on the factory duct, and popped it into the
hole. Dual cold air intake ducts with an awesome factory look.
-I sealed up all connections with clear silicon RTV, so no cold air escapes
Thanks!
