Beams (SXE10) inlet pattern the same as 16V or 20V 4AGE?

I'm running a copy of the TRD manifold with blacktop 4AGE throttle bodies on it, on beams 3S and some 110mm long trumpets.

People say 45mm throttles are about right for 2 litre motor, if not too big.

But the thing is, to get good velocity into the port you need the runner diameter/cross sectional area tapering down towards the head, and to get this to happen at all with beams motor you need at least 50mm dia throttles even though that goes against the general rule.

Mine have nice bellmouth, tapers down to 45mm throttles, but then tapers out slightly to the head/port.Not possible to have it any other way unless throttle diameter is larger, which is why I think Glenn makes the good power with the 48-50mm throttles.

Either way, gonna dyno both the quad throttle setup and single throttle setup, see which makes better power. Factory manifold is pretty decent!
