Yup, or you can hunt around for a used Shaner. Night and day on throttle response over a stock TB

I did the one on my wifes car. It was a noticeable difference. The throttle response was much more crisp. The car has pace setter lt's,tsp y,magnaflow,25%pulley,lid,smooth below,ms3 cam and prc 2.5 heads. well woth the time I spent on it. Thats a fair price for the work involved.

Alot of us have it done and yes it is very worth it, one of the cheapest mods you can do that offers considerable gain.

I have a spare throttle body in my garage if you need one to use while yours is shipped out.
