Default SMS throttle body


anyone have a clue what the bore size of Saturn Motorsports' throttle body is? also, do you know if they're still using a stock throttle plate? I'm trying to decide between the SMS unit and the SPS unit, but it's hard to make a decision when you can only find info for one of the products, lol. They really suck at answering emails and the performance parts guys have never been around when I called.

I believe that it is tapered, which tends to have better throttle response anyway, since it will help to maintain velocity (by acting as a velocity stack), while increasing the volume of air at the same time.

yea i actually just managed to find some info on it browsing around, apparently it is tapered from 56 to 55, but it'll flow more air than the 56-52 SPS unit. also, hasn't SPS had some complaints from customers that their motors won't idle properly b/c they left too much room around the throttle plate on some units?
