what is the consensus on these things?
is it worth the money?
where do you get these? who makes the best?
is there a trade-off? or is is pure power and throttle response increase?

is this one good?

thanks for putting up with the questions

I did mine myself. I would definatly do it again. The bore is the same size. Souposed to be good for 500 hp or something like that, I just ported and polished the incoming side before the throttle blade.

 

what kind of hp can you expect? 5-10? something around there?

 

I was thiking more like something like 3-5...... I think its a more complimenting mod than a power mod...

I really dont know for sure.... but I just cant see it being more than that...

 

Well, I am getting my Shaner ported TB in the mail Friday. So I plan on installing in as soon as I can. Let ya know what my results are. I was told typical gains to be about 5 hp, but that there have been occurances of upwards to 15 hp gained with some tuning. Note that these gains are not frequent.

 

well with the bbk on the "dyno" it showed 10 rwhp, then again i don't believe in dyno's lol jmo

 

getting mine tomorrow. cant wait to see if it does anything. im still trying to decide if it want to keep the helix throttle body spacer on or chunk it...

 

Chunk it.

 

Put it under the gas peddle so it will slow you down.
