Default yes

yes all proflow does is bore out your original, they dont sale new trottle bodies for the 350Z, just will bore yours out......here is what they emailed me:


Hi Kevin,

We do not stock that one yet. We may be getting a core in the future, but for now we rebore them as they are sent to us. It takes 2 days in our shop. Performance increase is about 11-13% more airflow capacity.

Let me know if we can help.

Thanks,
Jim

i have been trying to PM you but your box has been full................as far as the Vortech goes.............I am 85% sure it is not for me................I would have considered if the deal was tasty sweet, but money for money, i am now 86% sure it is not for me. The reasons are as I stated to you over the phone. If I get a supercharger..............it will almost 100% be a roots design, i like power at 1,000rpm just like i like it at 6,000 rpm. If I get a TT it will be the Greddy unit. The Greddy TT would be my very first choice if money was not a issue. TT is the ultimate as far as being efficient, thus creating less stress on your motor (5.5psi boost on TT=same or more HP as 7+psi Supercharger, the belt eats up about 50hp)=more reliable. But I keep dreaming about the TT, the cold reality is my wife is only going to let me spend about $5,000.00...............and shes pretty damn firm, i think i could get a lil more to by the dream workes kit, but a TT is a lil out of reach at this point.......cheers...

for comparative purposes, 350EVO got 3mph on the back straight @ Daytona with their bored TB, but they say works better with the Technos ECU upgrade.
