the whole 88% thing isn't really 88% it's just an hptuners thing, it's really opening 100%. My vette does it too, it's an LSX thing.

I noticed a more responsive throttle after putting this tb on. Keep in mind I haven't had any tuning done yet.

I like it for the price.

It is milled too. I noticed an improvement even without my ported intake and with the ported intake it is even better. It isn't a full ported TB. It is milled meaning not as much metal is removed which means it will not throw codes. If people do not want to use it then don't but to say that it doesn't work is wrong especially since I have tested it. I am not the only one to notice improvements. The hole is larger than a stock TB. I hope this helps.

even if it did nothing I thought about buying one to send it out and get ported from fasterproms. It was a good core for cheap. Oh well anyway to make a buck I guess, now they wont sell any and it wont do them any good raising the price.

My bad. I should have put "not worth it" as opposed to "don't work." Sorry about that.

I wonder if they'd do a group buy for a lower price.
