Who Is Running A S2 Or S3 Throttle Body Power Gains Hi just wanting to see who all is running a S2 or S3 throttle body and want to see what the difference is in performance. If you could give an idea of power gained and what was done before the install of the throttle body. Thank you for all of your help.

I have had an S2 since 2002. When I put it on, I did notice a slight change in throttle response, and the motor was smoother in sixth gear at low rpms. No before after dyno's on only the throttle body though. Certainly a good mod IMO, and Mark is awesome!

I've got a Shaner S3 that's polished inside and out. It's simply the best throttle body available based on the stock piece. The bonded section and the copper tubes that are cnc milled like the rest of the job are works of art. I wish he was a sponsor here, because he really has the best piece out there. The the big flaw to his company is the wait time to get your part. Over a month sometimes with no communication in between. That's kind of harsh.
I did feel a performance difference around town although I never dyno'd the results. It had some extra pull above 4,000 rpm and throttle response was improved all over the powerband.
