You might notice maybe 3HP even if that. The car will just have a faster response.

After I get my dyno tune done in June, I plan to take an extra run with the stock throttle body just to get an accurate number. I'll post it later in June.

Gizmo, I was just commenting on this mod on the "Clear Image Header & Cat Install" thread. What did you pay, net results etc. with this mod? I'm on the fence with this one.

Well, you see, that's the problem. I really have no idea of any benefit.

I had it installed while getting MARiSOL fixed from the first accident. I had not driven her for 6 weeks, so no fresh memory with which to compare. Then 13 days later I had the second accident.

But when I get the dyno tune in June, I'll switch out the throttle bodies for another run, that should give a pretty precise comparison.

I've still got it on MariSOL, but I still have no opinion on this mod. Sorry.
