No of course 90 or 102 is overkill for a stock intake manifold. I should have been more specific and said if I went to the NNBS intake manifold. I wouldn't buy or modify a throttle body for the stock intake manifold, that would be a waste of money in my opinion especially when I could easily get a NNBS manifold and make a throttle body swap mean so much more.

Bigger is bettererer

I guess what I was trying to say is with your mods you don't need to change intake manifolds. Get yourself a P&P stock TB and run it.

Nah I disagree I think those mods will still be good and give some power.

Sure I don’t need to but it wouldn’t be detrimental at all

Adjusted my headlights and added a resistor to bring back my four high mod. Looking bright now

Also got my AFR gauge to talk to HPTuners via serial port so now I can take better logs.

Update on me painting the truck: Went to Service Kings as I was recommended by someone to go and I was quoted at $8k. Not sure I am ready to shell that out yet but I guess it is a start. I am gonna call someone about wrapping it but I think the dents and stuff are going to cause it to be unwrappable.

Is that a franchise body shop? How much body damage do you have? Can you upload the estimate?

shakenfake

Yes franchise shop, I believe they are based out of Texas as they have 96 different shops here but I am unsure of that.
I really didn't think I had 8k worth of body damage. I literally just have one scratch and then some dents in the passenger door, never let someone ride with you folks they will dent your door. Hell the guy that took my information and photos said it should only be around 4-6.

Estimate attached. I'll get some photos as well just to show y'all what's going on

In Feb '16 I paid about 7k to have my truck painted, and that was after I stripped it to bare metal with aircraft stripped and a DA, removed all the glass and trim and disassembled the entire rig so they could shoot all the pieces separate and do the jams. There were two dents on either 1/4 that needed fixing and I pinned/ pulled my hood for them. It was a hassle. Took me probably 8mo to prep the truck to then still pay out the nose

8k might sound like a lot, but realistically I think it's in the ball park, depending on what they need to do

Damn if I pulled the truck apart for them I could basically get it down to about 7k? I did the math and it was about 1k less. I may just give it another year and paint it next year, I have the money but ****** $8k ain't cheap lol. Put some billets on it the year after that or something. I got my declads almost ready to go back on until I get some intros or something.
