is there such a swap as to make my curved throttle body into a straight? if so what are the things i would have to do or have to get thanks guys

definately not worth the little difference you will have.

you would need the accompanying pcm, the throttle body, the throttle cable if its existant since its drive by wire...uhhh....

what makes u want a strait throttle body?

^ you would have to convert essentially everything to a newer model year, or fab a custom adapter plate to accept the bolt pattern from the strait TB design. People have looked at it, but its too much hassle to be worth it.

I thought viper posted some pics of an adapter plate a while back. All straight throttle bodies are drive by wire, but it really wouldn't be worth the hassle.

IF its to convert to drive by wire. IT IS NOT WORTH IT. Drive by wire sucks, give me a cable TB any day...

Nevermind I found the thread I was thinking about. They were talking about changing to the new intake manifold and using an older throttle body.
