ive got a 98 DX with intake, header, exhaust, and a cam gear advanced two degrees and the last time i ran at the track i ran a mid 16 but the track was shitty and i didn't have on the header or the cam gear...ive been looking at some different copanies that make new throttle bodies and i was wondering if it would be in my best interest to get a new throttle body (bigger) or not...if i do does anyone know what size i can go to and who i should buy through ? Also, will this help improve my time ? thanks guys.

I'd like to know this as well. All the ones I've seen cost quite a bit and only give a 6 - 8 hp gain.

with your current mods i'm sure the new throttle body will have a pretty big impact on ur HP gain..ur intake will most likely function better too (pretend that the intake, throttle body, header, exhaust is a big straw...now the throttle body would be like a "pinch" in that straw and if you can get rid of that "pinch" then the ur mods work much better..the same analogy goes for the cat-converter in your exhaust system). i'm sure this mod will improve ur 1320 time.

as far as size go, bigger always isn't better...i'm assuming that 68mm would be your best bet
