I agree with you on that Sam.

People, the other thing to remember is that "if a little more is better, a
lot more isn't always better". Sure the 1000+CFM TB will work great in the
higher rpm's (where the engine needs it) but let's be realistic here...where
do you do most of your daily driving? I'll bet ya it's under 3500rpm. I
doubt that you'll be needing a 1000cfm TB for that.

Actually the motor I'm going with(probably)is a Mopar 360 shortblock with a
Hughes cam either the 1418 or the 1828, R/T heads, M1 4 bbl or maybe this
new 2bbl, 24 lb. injectors, Mopar headers and computer and I was just a
little curious about that 53 MM TB it seems a bit optimistic on the flow
rating but I could be wrong. And it maybe too much for the package I'm
putting together. I'm really having to twist the wife's arm to let me do
all this so I don't want to spend too much money unnecessarily. I also
talked to someone at the Mopar tech. line about the new 2bbl intake and I
came away convinced after being on hold for a half hour that they don't know
sh*t about the things they sell. It's the same old story the people on the
DML know more about Dak performance then Mopar does!!
