It will give you better throttle response most of all. It's also supposed to give you a few extra HP but what I mostly noticed was better response.

Get the VMax ported TB. They are CNC ported which means they will be consitantly ported. Done by computer/machine...not by hand. It will cost you about $150 + exchange. Do a search on VMax and read what everyone says.

Warranty....yes, the factory warranty on your TB will probably be no good. Other than that there shouldn't be an issue.

BTW: plan to add the scoop when you can. Once you see how the air space infront of your intake is clogged up by your washer bottle and then the way the scoop grabs air from the front of the grill you'll realize there is no way it can't help.
