Thats the only downside, but if you don't mind waiting a bit longer its worth the wait cos its the biggest one available out there.

Thanks for the info, sounds like you guys are going about this the right way. The extra 1 mm isn't going to make or break the setup anyways.

i totaly agree 1mm isnt going to make much of difference plus having more matrial makes it a safer and reliable. plus the customer support boomba gives you peace of mind.

Post dyno results... Until then, this is a paperweight to me as I have seen Bigger TB's do squat on other cars.

Interesting product, and the milspec one I had on my VIII with the intake manifold porting definitely had a noticeable effect.

I would like to see a before and after on a dyno sheet, and also an idea of the reliability of your product.

Thanks

I talked to Boomba about this today and they are doing a dyno run on this very soon and as far as reliablity goes . They machined it to 64mm to have more material on the TB and not thinwall the casting. I strongly belive they know what they are doing with their products and the time they
take to test and engineer them. I'm positive we will see positive results.

Here are dyno results for our shop Evo X.
Our car is stock except for intake inlet ported to 64 mm to match TB.
We got 10 HP gain.
