    Does Big Bore Throttlebody Help 95 M3?

    Does aftermarket big bore throttlebodies like Dinan help on a 95 M3, or am I wasting money for the extra 2-3mm of diameter. A lot of people are saying it doesn't do anything noticeable, not worth $300 or something like that. Anybody with firsthand experience? I currently have a euro-HFM and matching chip. Thanks.

    The only replacement for displacement is technology.

    I wouldn't touch the throttle body unless you have internal work done too. From what I have heard from several tuners is that only then might you gain a couple hp.

    So what kind of gains would I be seeing with cams, headers?

    I was told by several people who I trust, 2-3 hp. So basically nothing. I am going to do it over the summer and test back to back so we will see. Oh, and this wouldn't be with just an intake and chip.
