Question Is this going to help me at all?!?!?

would this be worth buying or just best to leave it alone and invest in something else? and are there any NOTICABLE gains with this throttle body? just looking for input before i go off and buy something i dont need. thanks in advance.

You can gain a few HP from a ported TB, not a lot really. I got mine done from a sponsor:

I'd look for a TB that has the same or slighlty larger opening diameter of your intake manifold. Just my $.02

some gains are def there, not enough to feel.

i'd guess 5-7hp

some say better throttle response at low throttle...but that's subjective.

$180 seems pricey

there are guys doing it for 1/2 that...and the quality is 90% of that

I gained nothing from the TSP ported TB. I would spend the $ on something else or save for larger mods.
