    243 and 799 are the best flowing but the 862s are good heads too.

    thanks.

    Does anyone know if that's a good price for the tac module?
    Or should I just switch to dbc and why?

    Every site I have read points to DBW being the better choice. Most choose DBC for ease of install. TPIS did a dyno on a stock 90mm DBW vs a stock 90mm DBC and the DBW flowed better and made a little more power. If you have a DBW harness, you should run DBW.

    Easier to do cruise control too.

    Thanks. That makes a lot of sense and is what I wanted to hear. I didn't know that dbw was better for performance. Seems like if it was good for a few more horses than more people would run dbw.

    No problem man. If it were easier to install a DBW, thats what I would have done. Not to mention you can get a 90mm dbw throttle body pretty cheap. Compared to a 90mm DBC throttle body.
