Designed to produce power and torque throughout the RPM range, Increases throttle response, Increases gas mileage, Increases acceleration, Installs in just minutes, A patent-pending design, Eliminates the need for a ported throttle-body by smoothing and reshaping the throttle-body entrance to increase the incoming air velocity at each given RPM

In Truck applications we have seen gains of up to 22+ ft/lbs of tire-shredding torque throughout the power curve where you can use it! As tested in a 2004 Silverado 5.3 V8. In LS1 car applications, gains of up to 13 rear wheel HP have been seen (03 C5 Corvette).

They claim some great torque gains. I'm sure the gains go up proportionally when associated with other performance mods. The question is..does anyone use this in their LS1's vs a p&p throttle body? What kind of gains are you seeing with what mods? I guess those P&P can bash on this product too if they want. I just want to know!

I mean for 30bucks... is it worth it?

I only have a volante CAI and slp catback, headers, cam and tune are next. should i toss this sucker on too? or just p&p.

Not worth it, just port and polish or buy one already done by a sponser.
