Question Granatelli or Z06 MAS and/or BBK 80mm Throttle Body?

Was reading about this over at Tbrynes and it claims 13rwhp!!!! Come on now, anybody running this thing that can verify that? I know a lot of you guys are running Z06 MAS and some have had problems and some have not. I've descreened mine and done all the freebie stuff to it wit hout trhowing codes. What gives? IS this worth the money or not. FYI, I might be planning on doing this or a Z06 MAS with a BBK 80 MM throttle body, which BTW gives similar HP claims at the same time which would seem to compliment each other. No sense in opening up the front end and having a restictive throttle body now is there...or is there?? Anybody and all comments welcome!

do neither and save the money. both stock units flow well enough. if anything, port and polish the stock TB. if you want to spend money, get some headers or converter.

Your intake is more of a restriction than your TB so I wouldnt even worry about it unless you like to tinker. Then just port it yourself for free

well i dont have anything really to tell at this moment. it started raining today and couldnt really get traction to see. plus i did a few other mods. (EGR removal and rear O2 sensors deleated) but what i did feel felt good. i only got to make a couple of runs. but it wasnt enough for the computer to learn if it had to at all.

hey lance, shut up! just joking. i have asked a lot of questions on the zo6 and granatelli mass air sensor, most everyone says no gain which equals a don't do mod! the part number is diff except on the meter, that part number is the same. 02denali since you have the z06, next time you go to the track, test both for us. stock vs z06. just to see what it does.
