RE: throttle body difference
throttle body machine NO!
gains are minimal, and with our spanish oak tuning ish, it has been proven very difficult to tune one properly, and the cost just makes it completely not worth it. the only suggested use would be for a high output FI engine, where every bit of airflow counts. but even then, i wouldnt bother. there are plenty of other ways to gain horsepower without the catastrophic tuning nightmare. the oem TB works fine
