You'd have to sit down with your local machine shop to get something like this. The other problem with putting on a larger TB is that the hole in the UIM is sized for the stock TB and would also have to be opened up.

i see. sounds more like a pain then anything. how much power increase would it give me anyway. probably minimal and not worth having done. right?

It probably would be a decent increase, but for the $$$ you'd spend, it would be quite cost prohibitive.

Better off getting your PCM flashed.

You can send your PCM out to get reprogrammed. Or buy a flashed PCM and pay a core charge until you send in our old one.

They hook it up to a computer and recalibrate it. Usually you have to run a higher octane rating because of the adjustments made by the flashed PCM.



here's a link about flashing.

I dont know anyone who has done this because alot of guys like to buy Hypertech or Diablo Predator programmers. I was going send my PCM to them. Instead I bought an upper intake manifold for my Impala. The repairs set ya back when you wasnt toys.
