Quite!! I was actually interested to hear about throttle bodies. Was interesting to hear going too large can damage your engine (if I read that right?!) and also what the options regarding oem throttles are.

If anyone is feeling bold, is there a throttle body I can use to keep my Accord's cruise control...

It's the link I get on the iPod

Don't want to take it too far as I would like to keep some of the driveability if poss. Also, are there any power gains to have from the bolt on or is it a key to opening up more power later on? Obviously I'm not on a stock setup so could be an awkward question.

Yea I do have the ATR manifold

these things make little difference on there own but with other breathing mods will make a bigger difference

^^^^this is the thing. to make it work you need to get the whole line upgraded.

an engine will only flow so much air obviously the more it flows the more hp it is capable of producing but this is all subjective as you have to be able to move air through the engine at speed hence too big doesnt mean more hp it means slower movement of air unless you can move the air(force) it through.

from my understanding anyway

and there we reach the limits of N/A and enter the dark world of Forced Induction
