Default HP gains on larger TB?

well, as soon as the ADTR Series I intake is available, I will begin my mods. I was thinking about a larger Throttle Body from Domestic Performance. How much HP would I gain with a stock SC 3800, and an ADTR intake, how much would just the TB add? Would it get better/worse gas milage, and would my MAF screen need to be removed?

You may run into problems making it work. The larger throttle body for the 94/95 won't directly bolt up. The coolant passages are in the wrong place. Your PCM is looking for a different rate of flow. It may not work without a performance chip. Your MAF sensor may not be compatible. There'* alot of inter-related problems. It won't be a plug n play. We'll be doing alot more talking before you go with this! It hasn't been done yet. It'* been tried, but not succesfully.

We can just retune the MAF'* or retune your computer. 2 Ways to go to make it work.

Default NOT A FLOZ 92 -94/95 BLOWER

I did a lot research with pontiac parts dept to similarity to things like injector,t.p.*.mass harnes plugin conectors,air element,throttle cables.ect.The normal non blower use the same throttle body on 94/95, could be mismatch that way? what was the pulley size used on 94/95 blower and why was it larger ? mine came with a 3inch 92 looks like 2.5inch

Our TB will give you 18-22% more flow.
