    Are there any TB swaps for our GT500s?

    I saw a 75mm KB throttle body but I don't think it is a swapable unit. I "think" they only make or support it for their blower swaps. They report a 48rwhp gain over the stock TB but I can't find details on whether that is on the stock blower or the KB blower at the stage 1 level...

    I can only guess at this point but that TB with their CAI, some axle backs, and a good tune would result in something around 520rwhp??? Purely a guess on my part... Assuming others reporting 510rwhp without a TB swap and KB states that the stock TB is restrictive as low as 435rwhp...

    What do you folks think?

    i believe bbk makes a twin 65mm throttle body for the shelby gt 500 unless i am mistaken. retails around 320 to 350 dollars.

    hey when you use the monoblade tb do you need a new tune, as i would think so. also does it have the plastic gears like stock or brass ones.
