I think TB is more for improved throttle response than it is horsepower. I've never actually seen proof of a tb swap alone making more power on a dyno or reducing et's on a LS1. Same goes for LS2!

why u say that? had mine out of my car for years an done it to many other with not one problem! Didnt even change anything on my wideband! Hell my car went fast at track with all these mods! Im SD now so **** a maff!
only reason i said dont do to auto's is because i have been told it can mess with your shifting points, but never really had any proof in that either, seen auto cars with screen out and had no problems to

I know this is newbie tech but there is alot of misinformation here. EGR and AIR removal won't really gain any power. Less weight and bullshit under the hood and the AIR pump is annoying. No the AIR pump is not fed from the manifolds, it feeds into them though. It is fed from the lid. 01-02 cars never had EGR becuase they come with a LS6 intake which has no provision from GM and with the cam design change EGR wasn't needed. TB bypass wont gain a whole lot but hell why not. Besides it makes it easier when you port the TB. MAF screen, descreen if ya want to. Improved throttle response but not a whole lot of gain. Can mess with auto shift point. I'm SD as well so screw MAF's. FRA? Might gain ya a little bit but kill IAT's in traffic. If you want a bottem feeder, and there are gains to be had here, get a FTRA or the Chris1313.

The best.
I'd say the most effective free mod other than weight reduction would be porting the tb. FRA is ****, all that will do is pull in a lot of hot air. And descreening the MAF is fine, just don't port it!
