i've talked to AW and sell there parts...

the AW throttle body is not meant for NA performance

its ideal for FI cars. on a turbo car it will at leat gain 10hp

so what happens on a NA tC?

i'm most likely gonna go FI quite possibly Spring '06. i'm just curious what performance, if any, decreases/increases would be seen in a NA tC.
thanks.

it wouldnt help an NA car as much because your not forcing much more air in, where as FI you are forcing ALOT more in, and a bigger TB will allow that air to come in quicker, and if you have 2.5" exhaust with a header, then you should see a nice increase with those mods combined

it'll work on NA cars but the most ull probly gain from the TB would be 2 hp
