EVER pay $900 for a throttle body!!! That kind of price is insane! There
is no way that a ported throttle body can provide enough of a performance
gain to justify the expense. Hell, for that much you could buy a Nitrous
system and re-fill the bottle approx 20 times! Nitrous will give you
proven gains in performance from 100-150 hp over stock. I doubt very
seriously that MPI's $900 TB can do that!

As a recipient of several misguided missle attacks, I feel your pain.
We can all talk about putting a R/T into the 13s for a thousand dollars,
but it is not going to happen.Getting 20 horse out of a fresh air system
is easy,but obtaining BIG gains,as most of us know, is very expensive.No
way around it.From reading Jules catalog
and posts,I think he is probably has
more technical expertise than any of us. If you don't like his prices or
can't afford them, look elsewhere.
