I have a BBK 80mm TB and I gained about 10-12 hp from that.

XFACTOR, I take it you dynoed the car before and after with no other changes to the car (which was it anyway? 10 or 12?) Was this compared to a stock throttle body?

He said "about" 10 or 12 hp. I'm waiting to hear if actually dynoed this or if this is just his wishfull guesstimation.
