After looking at some throttle bodies for our cars I saw on ebay a 55mm with half shaft mod so I found out all common options we have for how much of an area we have and % increase over stock. I did it with the 49 being our stock size because of the taper on it. First number is area in mm. second is % increase.

57mm.
And exactly what is the shaft mod? Is it already done on the MPx?

The wall thickness of ours at 57 must be like paper! But yea you cut the top half of the shaft that doesn't have threads and the head of the bolts will sit on the throttle plate. Nothing noticeable but a little increase.

All this shaft modding talk and no one has brought up knife edging the butterfly plate?
Talked to my boss for about 10 minutes on this (one of the benefits on working for a performance company) And for aerodynamics, you don't want a sharp edge on the leading edge, you want it smooth and circular circular on the leading edge, and on the knife on the trailing edge. I'll be giving this a shot while attempting my half shaft mod.

Almost think of looking at a comet or you got the smooth circular head, and the trailing edge that falls to a point.
