From what ive heard there nothing but a paper weight, nothing but trouble and they really dont have any noticiable gains.

Some people have reported gains i.e. boss
it's kind of a toss up... more than likely going to see a gain with forced induction
your decision, but you could spend that money to get your suspension right instead.

I don't think Boss has ever reported a gain for his TB, besides he has every imaginable mod know to man on his car, he hasn't even had a Dyno on his current car.

I have the zabtech throttle body, which is a bored out stock throttle body, and comes complete, ready to bolt on. I can't say if it helps the HP or not. It did make an improvement in my of the line throttle response, but it did not add like 10 hp or anything.

Rmays06-and a few mods not know to man to!!!

NO.
Unless you just like adding items just to be adding them.
They are a pain in the @ss and quit working at the least
desirable time when the cheap plastic gears wear out.
Stay with the OEM stock one and get something else. [:'(]
