Default Throttle Body Mod

Do the throttle bodies help improve 1/4 mile time?

aftermarket throttle bodies are terrible, they stick closed and have plenty of malfunctions, they dont work correctly and can get u stuck somewhere. just look at BBK Q&A section, theres plenty of comments on it. and ontop of that they hardly increase the airflow at all. as for the underdrive pullies, yes those are a good mod, but supposedly ive heard they can drain your charging system if you have alot of draws like aftermarket subs/lights etc.

Aftermarket TB's are worthwhile IF you go FI. Otherwise, they're more trouble than they're worth. A relatively small few claim they felt an improvement. UDP's are supposedly good for freeing up about 3-4 RWHP; just enough for those with a more sensitive butt dyno to feel. But every little bit helps.

Sorry, UDPs are not completely worthless but barely do anything for the money, how about that.
