Horsepower Inc. (HPE), Dakota Kid and Hillside can all bore/upgrade TBs.

HPI no longer bores the earlier 2 pc. units.
We take 'em to 46.5 mm.

man thats all the bigger I can take an 04 throttle body? I was hoping for a lot more. guess I need to invest in an after market unit! Hey Hillside do you have any suggestions on size or do you have any to sell? Its gotta support 130hp..thats my problem..the stock tb is not enough.

Horse Power, Inc., is our sole source for throttle bodies, when heading into that power zone.
130 hp??
What size engine??
What modifications??

Depending on the size of your motor, you might not need too much more than 46.5 mm ... But, if you're going for a 130HP monster, I suppose you've already considered that ....

You might consider the SE 50mm or 58mm ... I think they can be had at a pretty competetive price from Zanotti or maybe Lakeshore, etc ....

Only thing is, I've heard the gaskets on SE can leak, so need to make sure you've got the right gaskets with them ... maybe someone can chime in on that ... I've forgotten the specifics now ....

"Recommendations for boring a throttle body" ... get a book of Yeats poetry and read to it for about an hour ... if that doesn't do it ... keep reading ....

Use a monotone voice ....
