Limited $$: Which bolt-on?
Long story short I have just a limited amount of cash left to do one more minor little bolt-on mod. Which do I go with?
1. SLP smooth air bellow for $35
2. S2 Throttle body for $100 + my stock TB
Let me mention that my car is an M6 TR 224 cam with stock 241 heads, ls6 intake, MAC midlength headers with ORY. I have an MMT lid with K&N filter as well. What will give me the best bang for the buck?
Need some Help guys Post up with help of any kind of feedback from experience with these mods

TB gets my vote. You can make your own bellows from HOME DEPOT stuff.
You could also port your own TB if you do some research and get you hands dirty.
A couple of links if you decide so

I've got an underdrive ASP crank pulley and also have all the bolt-on suspension mods as well i.e LCA's Subframes, PR I also have a set of Nitto's if I want to throw them on.
Does anyone know the diameter of the S2 TB?

Get a cutout and a short throw shifter.My last dyno was 16.2 horse power down and I directly relate it to a poorly fitting non SLP smooth bellows that doesnt fit and keeps coming off and sucking air.

for 100 bucks there is not much you can do to see the hps. Most of those mods are cars with cams and new heads, and you will see 10 hps out of something like a TB. Save up for a new exhaust, headers or a cam. Good luck
