Default Aftermarket Throttle Body

Anyone out there put on a new throttle body yet. The lower right bolt area broke on mine so I gotta replace it soon. All I can find is OEM thru the stealership. Can't seen to find any aftermarket throttle bodies. Any ideas?

Viper TB fits and seems to have noticeable improvement - as soon as I figure out which way to adjust timing with SuperChips I'll install it.

I hear SC and Viper don't mix well, without SC tune Viper self adjusts fine and runs good...may need CAI sleeve coupler if you run one

It will lean it out too much with both...

The OEM TB assembly is 209 and the gasket is 32. I guess it's not bad, but it would be cool if someone made an aftermarket plug and play TB.

I have been running a viper TB on my JK for almost a year now with no problems. That includes a road trip to Moab and my normal driving as well.

Details in sig.

Same here. Also running Trinity Diablosport tuner.

Noticeable improvement off the line, throttle response is dead on (no need to waste money on a Sprint Booster), 1 - 1.5 mpg increase, and auto transmission holds gears longer and gains more RPM range.

I run the Flashpaq 87 tune and viper TB with no problems. I have about 5000 miles with this set up.

What tune are you using, if I may ask? I just got the Diablosport Predator and would love to add the Viper throttlebody if I won't have any problems

I have run the 91 Performance, MPG Boost and 87 Performance tune. I can't vouch for usage with a Predator, but I can't see much if any change between the two. You can contact Frank at Diablosport; very helpful.
