M271 - "A2711410025" Bored Throttle Body (Revisit)
If any of you remember, Drex and I concepted the idea of boring out the M271 throttle body and made connections to shops and people who would GUARANTEE a horsepower/torque gain from this mod...so this weekend I got bored with one of two spare throttle bodies I had in the garage and did myself a favor:
About power mods, again, don't chime in here thinking this is some cheap-*** upgrade that will make a HUGE difference...be ready to spend some money on this platform or don't even bother (I've heard and done it all). More details later...
