Just wanted to start a little discussion to see some views.

So I removed the TB restrictor plate. Now the thing that I realized (and this is based on eyeballing estimate) is that the intake manifold is now larger then the TB hole itself. This seems like a great mod. The response is greatly improved in top end (no I have no Dyno's Nmex). However trying to stir up a discussion here on views or if a lurker around has done this on a DEK in full. I plan on tackling this. Within the the next couple weeks I will try to get actual measurements. I defintely think there is a lot of potential this motor has once the Restrictor plate is removed, bored the TB to match and larger MAF then tuned.

 

yepp that TB plate is only good for MPG.

i think this is what your search will end with..




PF TB with adapter plates + port matched.

 

Oh for sure. I can see a larger MAF benefiting this setup once you look at the porting, slightly larger opening with the plate removed and Pathy TB.

The Pathy plate is a bit pricey so I'm going to see if porting the stock DEK TB would be cheaper. I have 2 weeks of vacation starting next week. Should be able to work on some more info with this setup. I am going to get a baseline Dyno before I start tampering then get an after with a tuned SAFC and go from there. Hopefully a WB coming in soon to aide with the larger MAF and tunning.

 

Got an 80mm MAF off my buddy from a stang. Hope its not too much put I'll play around with it and see.
