Bigger TB discussion.
This is for talking about how to change TB'* to a larger size. There are a few different sizes available on the bonnie alone, but i'm gonna do one from the grand prix book personally. Ls1 TB'* have been run on many 3800'* just fine, but they're backwards. Northstar TB'* are the same size as LS1'* (75mm) but are setup for fwd applications.
My big question is which MAF do i use? I'll most likely be getting a Mini AFC, but would the N* one be best since it'* calibrated for the diameter?

You know I've thought of this myself, just where do you go and what size is needed?
At what point does it become apparent that the TB is too small and you need to step up?
I guess with the fuel ratio being to lean and looking beyond the afc? Not sure?
The MAF is in tune with the pcm, so I guess the maf must be within the pcm frequencies and scaled to the TB diameter?

Its for a L36, but can you modify it to fit your rebuilt?

Well I dynoed my Aurora with stock TB, than RSM CAI, and then RSM ported TB to 80mm. The gain was around 8hp @ wheels gain at the peak, The advantage to a bigger TB is power added accross the WHOLE power band.
Here'* a nice write up my old Aurora buddy did. http://caddyinfo.netgetgoing.com/reviews/tb.htm
I my self am still deciding with what TB to go with, The LS1 looks nice but big bucks, considering just getting the stage 2 HVTB, stock ported, my dealership probably won't even know when I go in for work, not the story with a big ls1 with a monting plate, looks far from stock.
