Or that thing that is supposed to smooth out the incoming air? Goes inside the mouth of the TB.

I honestly wouldn't get either of them. Get a stock ported TB and you'll be good to go.

Forget that, I had the Vararam velocity stack. It chokes down the airflow making it smaller than stock. If you want performance, do this:

it's not a tb enhancer it's a TP enhancer to modify the electrical reading of the throttle position sensor.

ok here is what summit says (These throttle position calibrators will eliminate annoying hesitation when you mash down your throttle. They simply plug into your throttle position sensor and help your throttle response. They enhance the performance of any computer chip, module, or programmer. ) is this true or false ?

If your TPS is working fine then you don't need it/ it wont help any. If your TPS is on the way out then it might help some.

Inductionwise, Lid/Stock MAF/Ported TB are all proven items. Free ram air/Fast Toys Ram Air/ SLP CAI/ Super Sucker Ram Air may help you gain about 1mph in the 1/4. Anything else [spacers (leftover carb tech voodoo), turbonators (bahaha), aftermarket MAFs (they just lean you out a bit- same as MAF ends- give tuner a hard time)] are hogwash for a stock diameter intake tract.
