Yes. GM does a lot of things at a cost per gain ratio because of bean counters. We could have had 30 MPG V8 vehicles ten years ago if GM could have made money at it. GM isn't perfect, and that leaves room for the aftermarket industry...

If these vehicles aren't going to show any gain, I don't want to spend $125 a month on advertising the ported throttle bodies for them, LOL!

Hey!
I can attest to the ported TB on the SVT Contours. I'm still very active over at the Contour Enthusiast Group site. This is a fairly popular mod for the SVTs, as well as other models. I've heard nothing but good things about porting the TB from the guys on the site.
