There were no notable gains with the Skunk2. I don't think the stock throttle body was a point of restriction.
Too much bigass Spal fan and a tired stock alternator were contributing factors. I would love a radio if hearing the car wasn't important. I like hearing what the car is telling me. And my neon says "Liquor Beer and Wine".

I changed some of my AFR targets as well so it was necessary to autotune again anyway. The TB is visably larger but I don't recall the specs. I wasn't looking for empirical evidence of better flow in my VE table changes so I can't speak to that other than to say there were changes up and down in various spots. I know it can flow more than stock and is better made, but for me it was insurance against throttle failure and the loss of an engine and turbo.

The car is on jack stands. 5speed and 4.10 are coming out and 6speed with 3.63's going in.
This is preparation for Daytona. Last year I was up against the rev limiter in top gear on low boost on both the front and back straights. No fun having to back off every lap. 144mph was all the gearing would allow with 7000rpm soft limit. Now I have Supertech light doubles, titanium retainers, a skunk2 TB, and I should be able to get over 160mph with 7200rpm limit if I have the HP to do it. And since I'm going from about 8-9psi to 15ish and had so much straight left, it will be interesting to see how fast it will go.
I hope it doesn't lose a tire or hub or something.

I use Race Chrono right now so no overlay. Unless someone can recommend a way to make my Galaxy s5 talk to the GoPro. I never looked into it and could use a tutorial.
I need to order a corrected speedo gauge face from Revlimiter. That would complete the ensemble.
