This^ I've had it done on each of three LS1 cars I've owned and for this reason consider it well worth it.

Well worth doing if for nothing more than the throttle response.

Photz does good work. It's definitely worth it or the money, better throttle response for sure. The power is right there. One of the cheapest mods to do. Your car might run a little funny for 30 minutes or so after but the PCM will correct itself after a little

Photz (on ebay) did mine and I like the better throttle response. It's a worthwhile mod.

Pm 408trans_am he's the one who did mine and did a great job. You send yours and he'll send a p/p one back in any color you want.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but when you guys refer to photz on ebay; is that the same seller as potz? I can find potz but not photz

Also, to answer the OP, I'd say this is definitely worth it- less than $50 for a potential increase in power, response, throttle blade opening and intake sound is hard to beat.

It's Potz. Someone typo-ed it and everyone else went along with it....

I did mine myself, but I couldn't figure out how to remove the shaft so I could half shaft it.

90% of the throttle response is in the tune.

dont do the home depot bellows

either the slp bellow or the stock accordian bellow, nothing else.

I had the home depot bellows and it pretty much collapsed and restricted my air flow, I can take pictures to show u what I mean. The slp bellow is pretty much collapse proof, and you can stick in a n20 nozzle later on. Dont expect a gain in HP tho from it.
