On a custom intake manifold, is throttle body placement a huge factor?
I'm thinking of fabricating a custom upper intake for my 3.0L. Basically it's going to be a large rectangle box, made in two halves. The lower half will have velocity stacks to channel the airflow down into the lower runners. The upper half will be sealed/bolted to the lower half. My question is... with a setup like this, is throttle body placement a huge factor? I'm thinking about relocating the TB for better mounting positions of my turbo project.
I was thinking about postioning the TB offset of engine centerline on the intake, or on the back facing the firewall.
Any comments?
