any of you guys have one?
I have one on my C5 Vert.
is it worth the money?

It didn't hurt anything.
But, I can't say it really helped anything either.

its totally different than the bellows.
this goes INSIDE the TB....doesn't enlarge it at all...just smooths out the transition into the thottle body bore.
don't see how it could help really.
$$ better spent on a ported TB

I would say that anything that help smooths out the air flow might be of some gain somewhere in the RPM range.. but how much is the question. It could help low speed throttle reponse..
It looks like the IAC port is covered (?, but can't see if clear from the pictures and write up that I have seen). That could aid in some flow being smoother over a stock one.
You might gain the same results (or better) with a good PnP Throttle body.. that is the route I would suggest for a bit more $ or time.

Ignoring their claims, all I can think of is if I install this it will further reduce the inlet diameter of the T/B and restrict airflow. I don't see how that gets me more power.

Definelty a waste It looks like it would actually cost you some air flow because of the loss of volume in your throttle body. I looked at it in Jegs also. Thats the whole point of porting your throttle body to open it up and flow more air. I am sure what ever it gains you buy smothing out the air flow it will cost you because of the loss of volume.

I'll vouch for the waste of money. I had one in mine and did a before/after test @ the track. Absolutely no difference in mph. I'd spend the money somewhere else,if I had it to do over again.
