I haven't read of anyone epoxing them recently. There's always the fear of it coming loose and ending up in your engine.

I got mine done at jantzer on ebay. However, once I had it done I was really worried about getting my core charge money back since I read a lot of bad stuff about his business on here. I posted up pics of it and everyone said it looked good so I guess he did a good job. I got my core money back as well. As far as power goes I think it works well with the aftermarket air lid. When I first put a lid on my car I noticed nothing, but when I put the P&P TB on a buddy of mine said the car felt stronger. He did not know about the new TB so I guess it made a difference to him and I both. I only have a LS1 intake and I say its worth the money for sure.
