I just put my Bo White PTB on the first of May. I have no other mods, while there was no noticable seat of the pants HP increase the throttle response was greatly improved. That hesitation from pushing on the go pedal until the rpm's coming up almost non existant, actually i don't notice it at all anymore. Well worth the time and money. Also, do what you are comfortable with, I did not disconnect the battery. If there are any idle concerns they will go away after a long drive or several short ones.

The only thing I noticed is that at an idle my rpm's would flucuate by a 100 or 200, up/down. All gone after a few drives, computer needs to adjust sometimes. ENJOY

^^^^ This.
You're not adding any power, even with CAI and full exhaust any "real" power addition is questionable, you may pick up a couple of horses tops.
The real difference is in feel and responsiveness... I still need to add these onto my '15, I really miss that responsive throttle blip from my 2010.

Don't mean to hijack the thread (which has kind of run it's course anyway..), but with Bo out of the porting game, any advice on another vendor?
