try not to spend too much money on the TB mod and be careful on what you do.
I dumped money into it and LOST ~10 hp. But, I would have bet my paycheck on
the fact that it gave more power. It did have better throttle response but I
did a before and after dyno and found the results alarming. They guy running
the dyno mentioned a fellow with a viper did the same thing and lost hp.
Here is what I did/had done
bought new TB from dealer
had it honed out to 52MM
Polished
custom butterflies
flatten butterfly mounts
