5.0 Throttle Body upgrade
Looking for info on Throttle Body upgrade options.
1990 LX 5.0 HO
Installed now:
BBK Cold Air intake
BBK Shory Headers
BBK H Pipe
Flow Master 5 series mufflers
Flex A Lite electric fan
MSD 6ALN ignition Box
Stock injectors
Stock Fuel pump
Stock Fuel rails
Stock CPU
Looking to push the HP a bit without a big disasembly of the intake.
I have heard horror stories of adding a larger Thottle body and screwing up performance with out adding other parts.
Just want to poll the list for the best idea on how to proceed.

Looking at your mods a bigger throttle body won't help you much in my opinion.

Awesome, I will put 5 quarts in when the time comes. I've always used Valvoline, what viscosity would be recommended for So.Cal.?, and thanks again
SB distributor won't fit
