im sorry that a throttle body made a ONE tenth and ONE mph diffrence on what appears to be a full bolt on/cammed either stalled or M6 car. you get better gains by removing your bumper supports, and its free. i honestly did not know that the TB gave any gains at all. thats my mistake. everyone acts like its the end of the world though
i will still never put a ported throttle body on my car, ever . i will also never **** away my money on a aftermarket MAF or descreen my MAF on a car that uses it. TECH Regular

I caughed up $4 for just one of the 3 bolts that fasten the TB to the intake. Its not a super special part either. I could of gone to Home Depot and got'n one for $ .50. I just didn't want to make another dumb drive for that.... So I got it from the dealer... ****'n highway robbery tho!!!
