Bama has recently posted that they are using the the aftermarket TBs as paperweights.... again, unless your making 500whp+ and on a draw thru design they are a waste IMHO

thats what everyone is saying, but im not buying one for 300 it was 100, if i were going to spend 300 it would be 4:10s, so no one thinks i should buy it? even for 100? i heard they make a nice sound......

I have that throttle body on my 05. It was on there when I bought it. Pretty much every car company that's making superchargers for the cars are using the stock throttle body, if that tells you anything.

Mine makes a good sound, but unless it's tuned properly it will cause some problems with limpback mode. The intake caused a BUNCH of issues with the stock computer. It would shut itself down and you'd have to go and put your finger in the butterflys to get the car to operate again. A Diablosport tune was done on my car and corrected the issues, but still... If it wasn't there to begin with, I sure wouldn't have put it on there.

piece O crap if your going to upgrade to any TB make it the GT500 one and you prob best have LT, cams and C&L racer or centri blower/turbo to see any worth while gains.

Thats what we did..............you wont be sorry. You will have to put the car on a dyno and rework the MAFT Function for best results. Expect a 6-10rwhp gain.
