            I know the MAY be the same size...lol....wanted to know for sure.
            generally, automatic TB's have a larger core diameter as they need to 'inhale' more air than a 5 spd due to the lower RPM gear shifts.
            I figure i can get a used automatic TB for cheaper than I can get mine bored out...

              Apparently the stock TB is good enough to flow ~200HP.

                But a bored TB (on most cars anyways) is usually good for an additional 5-8hp!

                  I wish we could get our hands on a Full Intake Manifolds. LIke some other cars can. I would buy one if the price was right. I really don't mind my throtle body. I think it is pretty large.

                    But, if it netted you an additional 5-8hp, wouldnt you swap in the auto? I didnt mean flow an additional 5-8hp, i mean a 5-8 gain!
                    I mean, I can get the TB bored for next to nothing, but, less of a hassle if the auto's TB is already larger than the stick...
                    Any online sources so I can x-reference the part numbers?

                      Why don't you just go to the junkyard and pick one up and then measure it and compare it to yours.
                      Figureing if it costs you only 15 to 20 bucks..
                      On this one you may have to do your own research..
                      Imagine if the whole intake manifold was different.
