87GN Stock Throttle Body Question

[granitestategn]

Porting the intake on a garage queen ? WHY ? Leave the car alone an drive it to the car shows. 99% of people have no idea what they are even looking at.

TWIN TURBOS? Of course they do!
The one that's on the car, and the stock one on the shelf in the garage!

"I have a real FBI code 1987 GN. Engine mods - making 1,000HP+
Original paint and interior- still has the Maine State Trooper sticker from 1988 on the windshield
See the build codes… what do we think it’s worth"

bwahahaa! 1000HP!!!!
Stock ignition. Vacuum block instead of push loc lines. Stock intake and throttle, and a MAF-T... so it's on the stock ECM still.

I really like the billet look. At one time somebody made a 65mm billet throttle body, but couldn’t find it when I was ready to purchase. I haven’t seen it since so I had Steve do my stocker.
I decided to go with the precision plenum and power plate because of the slightly better air distribution over the stocker. This route made sense to me when purchasing flow matched injectors.
A word of caution: the Precision plenum is 5/8” taller than stock to clear a 4” MAF pipe so it’s very close to the hood liner. Notice the slim vac block. I had the plenum machined to tip the TB down and to tip the plenum forward. Then Cruze comes out with the angled spacer. ARGH!! Lol
I got the cast version and had it powder coated anodized aluminum w/ clear along with the valve covers for a stock look, only better.
