Anyone stating they don't see how a few mm of space...clearly hasn't read anything about the TB design. It's not the extra space that makes the greatest difference.

It's $150. Are you looking for a .5 sec reduction in the 1/4 mile...you should look elsewhere.

The throttle body was not designed to increase horsepower or torque. It was designed to provide consistent power delivery i.e. get rid of the "dead spot" I'm the lower RPM range.

It just so happens that the TB also added a few extra horses and torque, which is just an added bonus.

The vast majority of owners would say the $150 was well spent.
