tc throttle body upgrade
I found a few throttle body upgrades, but little information on what they would help, they look like the stock one i have so um any idea what a aftermarket throttle body would do?!

upgrading the parts of the car that "breathe" should start at the most restrictive (head/intake/header) and go to the least restrictive.
i don't believe the throttlebody is very restrictive at all.
i'm still dying to get an intake manifold made so i can bolt that sucker on though ;(

ok thanks for the answers guys lol im debating on what to buy im shopping around for headers right now and im also looking into a rear sway bar which doesnt look to be to hard to install so im pretty capable of doing both installs, i need suggestions on headers im not looking for loudness and i was looking into going alphawerks/evo2 but everyone says dont because it sounds like crap, so now i dont know what to do for a setup, im looking for show quality headers thats all i know, SUGGESTIONS!?!? and links to pics!?

sad thing is i still dont know exhaust what exhaust to go with, imma do something aftermarket i just dont know what, and 800 bucks is nothing i could do that right now, but i bought the alphawerks header and made a car payment instead lol

Id definitely do the antifouler first to see if that works. I did it today but only used one of the two that came in the pack and it worked great. I just didnt drill the entire hole to 1/2'' because it was freakin hard and my drill was dying so I just grinded the sides a bit until the sensor fit all the way through smoothly and I havent gotten a CEL yet. I think it worked!

Well back to the TB topic...
The air flow would be nice but I'd love to have a non-motorized TB, or a reflash for faster response. Anyone else notice how much of an angle the plate sits at when fully closed? My honda was almost flat, this one sits at about 10* when closed. It's still almost sealed because of the irregular plate shape, but I never saw something like that before.
