Default throttle body upgrade

Hey guys..

whats the size of throttle body in an AU XR6? i have the tickford model with all the factory goodies so is there a difference in the TB?

also ive came accross this:

is it worth the extra coin and does it make a impact on acceleration?

If a 65mm flows enough for a 5.0l I cant see a throttle body upgrade doing much for a six.

The title says 70mm, the body says 69mm, and they claim 15kw at the wheels, plus increased torque. Only one of the statements is true.

This was covered not to long ago.

Ergo: not a worth while mod

The standard throttle body will flow a hell of a lot more than any NA 6 engine and exhaust package will flow. Keep your money and buy a surecam.
