Default TB bybass kit on ebay.

This guy is full of it. He claims this mod can be worth 6-8 rwhp and up to .3 at the strip.

I got mine from ebay, cause I didn't know then what I know now. It came with a dyno sheet I think its b.s., but even if its true, how does 6-8 hp=3/10's in the 1/4? Wouldn't you need more like 30-40 h.p to get 3/10's?

Yup more like 30 or 40 to drop that some people are just out to take advantage of the un-informed.

Even the dyno sheet shows two runs, base vs ported TB and EGR mod (delete?) and coolant bypass....that shows 6 hp and 11 tq it looks like? How do you get from there to higher numbers with fewer mods?? BS!!!

Here's another poor man's mod from the same guy:

I really like the feedback this guy has, people saying they felt more power right away. I still have mine on just because it is so damn hot here in TX but it doesn't really do anything at all.

$14.95 is way to much go by Autozone, OReilly, Home Depot, or Lowes and buy a 3/16 barb splice only cost a dollar or two, use the clamps that are on the TB. Some rubber plugs to cap of the two ports on the TB. When I did my it cost about 3 or 4 dollars, I also had to replace one of hoses since I had to cut it off the TB.
