Another Throttle Body Question

[Mike Swentzel]

I want to buy an Accufab 65 mm Throttle Body, and want to know if it will work with my stock Plenum?

RJC power plate makes more HP, cures most of the fuel distribution issues, reduces knock due to the better distribution of the air, and is cheaper! Stock upper is poop too. Port the manifold, and remove the egr bosses! At LEAST remove the egr boss from the upper. You can probably add a couple hundred bucks for manifold work, and gain MUCH, MUCH more HP. Ask the guys in the 9s with stock t bodies!
Just my opinion.

It will bolt up, but you’ll have to port the plenum a bit and get a larger gasket.
I’ve seen some billet 65mm throttle bodies that looked killer, but most of us don’t need them.

I have the power plate, I'll planned on porting the manifold. Should I get new Plenum?

Should the Plenum be ported whether or not I get the 65mm tb or stay stock?

It seems the stock plenum is only slightly larger than the stock throttle body and the plenum inlet is not always lined up. Steve Monroe opens up the plenum inlet for his 62mm mod, or he did when he was still doing them.
Just gasket match the plenum inlet.

The Precision plenum w/ power plate has a little better air distribution than the stock plenum w/ power plate.
The Precision plenum is 5/8” taller than stock for clearance around a 4” maf pipe, just a heads up.
An Accufab plenum is the same height as stock.

I had a machine shop taper my precision plenum so the throttle body lined up better with the up pipe and to clear the hood pad.

I know what needs to be done, and thanks for pointing me to the right direction! So is Steve Monroe still Porting?

Unfortunately no. I believe he has officially hung it up.

Yes Steve is Retired that’s what made me buy the Polished 65mm Precision Plenum and Polished Accufab Throttle Body.
