Most of the time, I see people with 3-5 rwhp gains. That's worth it if you do it yourself. If I got 9 rwhp, I'd be very happy.

Might as well change the thread title to... "Ported stock throttle bodies = Worth it!!"

Who told you it would give you 20 rwhp?

well im fine with the gain its just you see people talk about doing the coolant bypass, and the halfshaft mod, and the bumpstop mod and porting the throttle body and saying that all these are big deals. if all add to make 9 horse power, it makes my point that these are built up to be bigger diiference makers then they are thats all. havnt heard that JUST porting made 20, i did hear that ALL of these together were worth that. but there not, seperate them out and there not so GREAT.i didnt say not worth it. just not as holy as built up to be thats all. ive heard people say do the bumpstop mod like that one thing will make the diff. see my point guys?

Dude, from what I read you picked up 9 ponies and 5 foot pounds without getting the car retuned. Thats pretty damn good! You may not pick up much more from getting retuned, but I bet your tune isnt spot on anymore...

9rwhp is great, like Patrick G said most gains are only 3-5rwhp on a SI car.
