Ever done the throttle body upgrade

t/b

yeah true that, i ported and polished the heads,and lower intake, have headers,underdrive crank pulley,live wires and coilpack. just want a little more power.

mine has been running fine with no codes,i think a throttle body unless you change the cam or rockers there is no way you are going to get more air into your engine.the better airflow from a less restrictive filter and smoother intake tube might help draw in more air,but without a tuner supplying more fuel are you really taking advantage of more air?

the better airflow from a less restrictive filter and smoother intake tube might help draw in more air,

For 1999 K&N does not claim any increase from drop-in and "claims" 5.5hp from cone filter and intake kit, but not until 4721 rpm and WOT, not really a useful range for street. They do not show the dyno chart so torque unknown. The pistons "draw in" the air.

but without a tuner supplying more fuel are you really taking advantage of more air?

The computer determines the A/F ratio from the air flow rate (determined by throttle plate) as well as other measurements. I doubt a K&N or equivalent at only +5.5 hp WOT will over supply air to a point you need a tuner, especially since it's the piston displacement and rpm's that determine max air flow.

Want a little more power?

Increase the displacement and/or add forced induction.

You can put in some lower gearing help with acceleration.

Adding things like...Throttle bodies, Air filters, etc will do absolutely nothing.

+1... A big giant +1... You can spend all kinds of time and money doing stuff like that, but it won't help...

?

so what about a cam?

so what about a cam?

Sure, but how often do you drive at 5K rpm?

I have a 93 ranger that i did a 302 swap, hauls but but drinks gas, so i was just wanting to pep up my other ranger with the 3.0

If you want pep, come drive my 2.3 then hop back into your 3.0

You'll have found pep.

There is no "bolt on" throttle body upgrade for the 3.0. I've covered this before with you, the last time you posted a thread asking this same question.
