Certainly cheers to that, Rob. My throttle response increased greatly after installing the overbored throttle body. The sluggish, low throttle points that I found myself in so frequently when stock. I can't say much for HP gains, especially because I installed at the same time as my CAI, but the throttle response thing is a definite bonus. This has always been a hard mod for me to quantify the benefits of, but I can say without hesitation is removed those dead spots especially under light throttle conditions.

A good way to look at it is.....Any performance product added before combustion in the engine is a big improvement in throttle response and torque. Anything after combustion is more HP. Sure you gain a little of both when you make a mod but this is basically how it goes.

I just installed my throttle body yesterday and it is a great product, all of the spots where the car used to bogg are gone throttle response is much improved.

i definately want the tb and intake manifold. originally i wanted a header, but i hear it affects sound too much, and i want mine as quiet as possible.

how much is the tb? on rrm's site its around 290, but don't you have to pay an extra 100 buck security deposit or something?
