There are only ever 2 intake valves open at a time. And the stock throttle body can outflow them. So why upgrade?

Picked it up on the stl dyno day along with the p2. Kind of hard to tell whats flash and whats throttle body but my throttle response has improved alot. Side by side, however, there wasn't a big visual difference between the two. You could see it was bored out but I don't know how much.

Basically all you will feel is greater acceleration when the throttle is only partway open.

If you want greater acceleration when the throttle is partway open without wasting any money, simply put your foot down a little bit more with the stock throttle body. Think about it.

There will be no noticable performance increase at wide open throttle.

I am stuck between JUN or HKS. I know JUN is the ****, but HKS is a little cheaper!

When do we have 2 intake valves open at the same time?

Thats not all out, HKS makes 284's. The 272's are pretty common.
