Throttle Body Question
#1
Throttle Body Question
I've been debating going with a larger throttle body for my build, but I also don't want to go too big and lose power.
I could have my stock 44mm bored out to 46.5mm.
Or I could go with a HPI 48mm or a HPI 51mm.
What is the thoughts on which size TB would give me the best gains with my build?

So if this helps give you some insight..........

That's exactly what I was thinking................not to go too big, but at the sametime I do think that some increase would help things out, maybe.
A HPI 48mm would be the biggest I would go if buying a different TB.
Or I could send mine out this winter and get it bored out to the 46.5 that seems to be popular from Hillside.
I do like my low-end torque............and don't really need top-end HP.

Good explanation! On my first 95" build I ran the SE 50mm tb, and made decsent power, but could never figure out why the bottom was so flat, so I tried some woods 400 cams, and it helped but still didn't seem right compared to most other builds. So I put my stock throttle body back on and at 2000rpm to 2500rpm range it picked up 10 pounds of torque (much more ridable), and I only lost 2 peak hp (who cares)! Plus your build is set up for bottom end torque, and it's a bagger! I agree that it's a bad a$$ build the way it is!

Another option is the Dakota Kid 48mm boring of the stock TB.
But again, I don't want to mess up a good thing. The bike is very strong now and has a very flat torque curve from 2500-5500, with the HP peaking at 6000.
I guess I just have always wondered that since the '06 bikes have a 46mm, then an increase would benefit my bike.
