Default Any mods that can be done to the throttle bodyto add HP?

I recall when I had my SHO i swapped out the TB from a Lincoln MK8 for a little bump in HP..was wondering if anyone has investigated this...BTW I am running APR stage 3,with race cats and a Vmax exhaust..

After you get the 225 intake installed, then get the 225 TB, it is larger than the 180's.

Default what is the point of that???

you can stuff a 1000CFM T-body on your car but the intake manifold and runners won't flow that!

you might be non DBW but how about the TPS sensor? there is an electronic Throttle position servo that actually regulates pressure and instructs the ECU of the value. with out that car won't run unless you dish out $2000 for an external Engine management? (motronic, Tec III)
