So im interested in hearing peoples oppinon on what the best intake manifold and throttle body would be. personally im thinking of porting my RBC like what was done here on the DIY forum and port matching to a ZDX throttle body? Would like to see a good discussion as ive been cotemplating on what intake manifold to go with.

So the new Skunk2 ultra manifold and 90mm throttle body is pretty bad ass but they havent came out with a DBW for the throttle body yet:(

Why you need the new skunk2 manifold anyway? That manifold is hight hp cars , you don't need it unless you planning on making over 1000hp

You can make 700-800 on stock tb and manifold

But i did find out that they do make an adaptor plate like a spacer for the 72mm dbw throttle body

IMO is waste of money unless you planning making the most power you can like 1000-1300... People make 800-900 on stock rbc and tb

I agree. IMO if you charge piping is still 2.5'' then that will just become the restriction. And with turbo setups we are blowing through the throttle body so it needing to be really big is less of a concern than for someone that is NA or has a roots blower that is after the throttle body.

i just went from RBC and 70mm to AFI and 90mm tb. We'll see what kind of improvements it makes on the dyno. Nothing else is changing, so should be good back to back comparison. I got it pretty cheap and it'll clean up the bay quite a bit
