Question Throttle Body Question?

I was just wandering what kind of horsepower gains i would see if i put an aftermarket throttle body on my truck? Also can you get your stock one ported or is it better to go with one such as the accufab single blade?

Don't waste your money on one until you get almost all the bolt ons. It's not worth it until you get in the 425+RWHP range IMHO. Even then it's probably not worth 5-10RWHP at most.

12's

SVTPETE, I can tell you that right now if you got some traction bars, you can hit high 12's. I went from 13.2 with a 2.1 60ft to 12.8 with a 1.8 60ft with just lakewood traction bars, so get some traction bars, port the blower and get an updated tune and you should be right there all day long brotha.......

Throttle Body Dyno comparison. http://www.svtperformance.com/forums...&highlight=BBK

The E-fan is worth 3-5 HP.
