Default Side effect of 74mm Throttle Body

Did a private track day yesterday helping to set up a couple of cars (GT3, 500hp Evo, and a new Ferrari for an owner who CANNOT drive...) and got to play with the Xfire for about an hour....found a side effect of the new 74mm Throttle Body. the throttle response is greatly enhanced!!!! A guy who owned a crossfire until recently was very impressed with the responsiveness -- and he had a Sprint Booster on his car for two years too.

Sure mades the car a lot more fun to drive -- this was a tight technical track, and one of the instructors from a driving school rode with me once and commented that it felt totally different from the couple of Xfires he'd been in.

BTW, it's great fun to pass a new Ferrari several times, in different places....

I just purchased the TVT 250 Kit, already have a Needswing CAI. I also ordered this TB I can't wait to see what kind of gains I get!!! The TVT Design guys (Anthony) and Jerry from LET are top notch, I'll be buying more products in the future..

BTW, put some leftover 100 octane unleaded in the Xfire today, about 50/50 with the crap 91 premium we get here, really smooths out the run up to the rev limiter!

Tazz I noticed no Catch Can on the long list, might smooth things out with the 91 (thinks of a cheap beer) "Milwaukee's best "your putting in there. (gets the same 91 octane unlike those lucky 93 folks)
