So .. in first .. on a cosworth you would need to get a custom manifold which bins the elbow...
then .. you go for a bigger throttlebody...
on a cosworth .. 65 mm from a RS500 .. (standard is 56mm)..
this is enough to go to 600 ish...
i use one from an alfa V8 (76mm)...
hope this helps..

Hello,
For 800bhp I would advise a 75mm throttle body with a forced induction engine. If you are using say a 650 engine + NOS as Rod does then you can get away with a smaller throttle as the base engine air flow is not effected by the NOS. In this case 65mm is adequate.

No it was rather real 800HP drag car without NOS. Thx for info Karl.
