thinking of selling my twin throttles and going to a torque power manifold and single 1000cfm throttle body. anyone know which throttle body to use? part number? the holley one looks best but i dunno how it will go up to the delco ecu? just need to talk to someone who has done it themselves.. oh and also how does everyone go with the law running this setup????

I had an injection perfection quad throttle body on my old 355, worked very well, but im sure most of them on the market are goning to do as good a job as the next, i guess it comes down to the one that looks the best. GAZ

Get one of these! http://www.eastcoastparts.com/html/throttle_body.html Look horn and saves having to buy a predrilled intake or getting one drilled Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

that looks pretty ugly if you ask me, standard throttle bodies would look alot neater. Plus having the injectors in each runner is alot more efficient then the above crude carby style, Holley etc make these kinda injection setups, only good for a budget EFI conversion.

I must be on the wrong web site. I thought I was on one where people liked fast cars, not how many litres per 100km they use.

Twin 750DP on a tunnel ram is the epitome of refinement (not long to go now ) And to fatjake, if you have a genuine Group A twin throttle manifold, you'd be crazy to get rid of it. Best manifold by far, hence why they cost so much. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah i got a walker one. but i talked to ryanstein at hrt. he told me runners have to be 400mm back of valve to end of trumpet and they need trumpets. so i took it to a mate whos a aluminium fabricator. he cut the top off and i got 8 of 45mm weber ram tubes he welding in runnings in the top with them on it. he reckons if i do that will be perfect and rev right to 7500. so im gunna see how it goes and if i aint happy with it ill change, the flowcraft ones look good. so im just thinking of my options if these dont work. but ud think hrt know their **** so should be ok
