It's very easy. There is a good write up on www.installuniversity.com on installing a TB... check it out.

The throttle bodys are actually easy to install. Two things for you though.

1. I send detailed instructions on install just incase you need them

2. I also have some good hints on the procedure. I can either send them with the TB or I can tell you over the phone. Drop me an e-mail, that's the bet way to start.

Are there any real benefits with an aftermarket TB? Is there any difference between an OEM ported TB and an aftermarket one? I don't believe so.
What's gained from porting the TB, about 3rwhp?

Other than the BBK the all aftermarket TB's are ported stock units. The advantage of a ported TB is that they allow the engine to breathe better, with the more mods you add the TB will help more. If you flow everything on a flow bench from the intake system, the lowest flowing thing is the stock throttle body. So the best way to get the air into the engine is make that flow better.

As for RWHP gains. I don't quote that. Why? because everyone has a different car, with different mods and they test them on different dynos. Most of the time they give 5-10rwhp when they are installed with some computer learn time.

Thanks for the info Bret. I'm now considering getting one. I really don't want to port my OEM TB myself.
