I know it's no gain unless your heavily modded. Do you guys think I could bennifit from a TB, or not quite enough power? I did a search and really not much there. I put down 450 to the wheels, that seems heavily enough modded to bennifit. Thoughts? possible hp gains?

I've heard people having problems with aftermarket TBs like the BBK. Maybe a ported and polished TB would be a good mod for you?

In your case, you may see some gains; not just because of the FI but with the LT's added with the FI. If you had cams, too, I'd say most definitiely. Right now, the stock heads/cams are probably your biggest pinch point.

Yes, go with a bigger TB, Get the FRPP twin 62mm jobber. OEM quality (no issues like BBK).

+1 I'd avoid the BBK like the plague. I have heard too many horror stories, one of my friends had nothing but problems with his.
