    Default Throttle body opinions

    I've been looking around the net but cant find any really decent comparisons.

    Long V's Short trumpets? Much difference?

    Im either looking at 118mm bodies with short trumpets or 30mm bodies with long trumpets

    Is there much difference in power/torque.

    The engine is going to be a 20XE with mild cams but largely standard for now with omex ECU
    in the future i may upgrade the internals to all steel and higher compression

    Longer the trumpets the more it helps with torque. Iirc from the backof the valve you want 12inch lwngth too tip oftrumpet if space allows. Which tbs are you looking into?

    IMHO given the "low" level of tune we get to, I dont think it makes enough noticeable difference... Willing to be proved wrong of course

    Call or mail Jenvey for advise & purchase what you need direct from them.

    So if you say put 60mm ones on. That would give a lovely torque curve...
