This is another indication that there were more gains from the throttle body change.
Was this 5mm increase enough? According to Toda Racing it was not and there was the potential of a few more gains with a +2mm increase. In fact Toda Racing provided a larger TB back in 2012 and it was one of their first products for our engines.

The reason I asked about throttle body is because I used to play with mustang back in the 80's & 90's and TB and heads is the first thing we swap out to improve performance and increase HP. This is my first import and highly computer control car so don't know much about tuning.
