So I take it you want a 52mm? To be honest you won't get jack squat for gains and the $$ would better spent elsewhere. Get all your free mods done first. If you do get one I would lean towards the BBK.

Yeah dont bother getting one quite yet. Out of the ones listed the AS&M is probaly the nicest piece but it is $500.

I agree with stealth, You won't see any gains besides better throttle response.

I don't think that air foils r worth the money. Save your money and get a tune from www.pcmforless.com or www.madtuner.com or get some drag radials.

I found a guy online, ebay i think, and got a stock one bored out 52mm, powder coated black, added airfoil, and the throttle spring replaced. I think it was like $250 or so with my throttle body as a core.

also agree no gains
