liam.mccaffrey - 15/7/07 at 07:43 PM

are my gsxr 750 throttle bodies too small for a chevy 350 small block? (obviously will need a second set)

i can't remember their id at the momen t and im
researching as i write.


i would like to use something like this and doing a full throttle body conversion

by the looks of things they might be ok

Seconded. fuel injectors might be a tad small though (can't remember the size off the top of my head).

oh yeah forgot to mention; will defo change the injectors

How much power are you aiming for?

a set of 600s are good for at least mid 160bhp which would give approx 320 on a V8. Would expect 750s to be good for 200+/pair.

It does indeed. Just don't buy them new - the mounts are about £25 each from a stealership...

was already looking at this, id be happy with 50 HP per cylinder which would give 400HP overall.

If i got that much i wouldn't mind then changing for bigger bodies
