    OK so I've been reading through and it looks like dual throttle bodies are worth good HP to stroker motors. Wouldn't it then also help boosted applications? Is it then just a matter of volume based on boost so that overcomes the limitation of the single TB with a non-boosted application?

    good luck man most people that tried the dual TB's ended up taking them off. Who knows maybe tunings alot better now and it might work. But with a blower your forcing the air in and not useinga vacuum so an other TB will not help you as much as if you where NA

    Yeah, that's what I thought but I'll play around with it in the long run. I have a ton of work to do first in the installation.

    I have seen some stock TB's for sale for less than $100, just need to do the "y" pipe from IC into the TB's and from TB's into the intake and the tuning.

    Stay away from it my friend. You don't need it with forced induction and if your heart is set on a larger unit, buy the 90 and set your manifold up for it. And the cost to do it is VERY expensive. Also the control system that I use is something I won't share. It's proprietary and a portion of the design aspect will be released when Inertia releases their final DTB set-up. So it's nothing personnal, tis business. Also there is only one tuner that knows how to dial the system in, he and I have spent countless hours working through the many issues.

    Anyhow, good luck and IMO spend your money, time and effort on something else.

    while the build is going on it cant hurt to get your runners ported. It cost me 200$ well worth it
