1993 850 more horsepower
So ive read before you can increase the horse power or torque in a 850 by replacing the original throttle plate with a 960 throttle plate. Any truth to this? my 93 850 is minty clean, engine strong, and a non turbo, just trying to see if there is a way to get a bit more power. Im sure there isnt much i can do other than buy a turbo model, but I thought I would ask. Thanks

Modifications to factory settings typically result in a lot of money being wasted while the aftermarket manufacturer pours another glass of champagne.
Today's cars are not designed for performance mods and any "improvements" are made at the expense of something else.
No one has the resources that the factory has for tuning the engine. Leave it alone.
Now, if we were working on an old 350 Chevy engine, there are lots of things that will change horsepower. But, that's another era.

Assuming the '93 N/A 850 TB is the same as the other MYs (not positive but assume it is) then the ONLY difference between your N/A throttle plate and the 960/S90 plate is the latter does not have the plastic puck attached to it. The non-pucked plate will give slightly quicker throttle response at initial opening, but no other effects. It will not affect hp at all.

To OP: The only thing you should do is check the airbox thermostat to make sure it's not stuck open. Most likely, it is.

The N/A already has the 3" throttle body. The only difference between the two plates is a plastic puck that helps with throttle response. I SERIOUSLY doubt you will see, feel, experience anything making that change. You can modify your existing if you want by removing the pucks and brazing up the holes. (I should have read gdogs comments before posting, redundant info)
