Default Bigger Throttle Body

Would it be worth getting a bigger JG 65mm throttle body with i/e/h/stage 1 cams/type r pistons/skunk2 manifold/AEM Fuel rail? I have a GSR and have the chance to get a JG Edelbrock Throttle body for like $150. Would it be worth the gain in HP? What would be the gain, if any?

You probably wouldn't gain a whole lot, but for $150 go for it. It'll definitely help you out a little bit.

i have heard the gain from them is not that big at all unless ur pushin a good amount of HP. with all ur shizzlenizzle u got on ur gsr... i guess i would do it.. although i would prob. grab sumthin before that like a stronger clutch, or lighter flywheel, but thats just my .02

I wouldn't do it personally because I think the JG TB is to big in comparison to the skunk2 IM port.

I already have a lighter flywheel and a racing clutch with pressure plate

i heard that the Skunk2 IM port is 64mm, which is 1mm less...correct me if i am wrong.

64mm for the skunk2 sounds right to me. If you do decide to get the JG TB let me know how it goes cause I'm curious about driveability. I just don't think your engine is pushing enough power to put a 65mm throttle body to good use. Do you know your whp with those mods?

I'd recommend a 65mm throttle body to someone who was running 2.0L LS Vtec. The decision is up to you.
