Throttle body
Debating new throttle body. Not sure if it is worth it. I have C&L street CAI (insert removed), hot rod cams, delete plates, BBK shorty headers, Steeda UDP, high flow cats, prochamber and Flowmaster mufflers. Have a shot at picking up C&L Racer CAI but I understand it is not much of a difference unless highly modified.
What do you guys think? TB and CAI.
Thanks

IIRC... stock TB good for up to 400hp. Benefit of larger TB not realized unless power-adder installed as well, but then only mid-range to top end.
Do some searching....
