RE: granatelli vs. motoblue
The best TB is the one that came with your car. Don't waste your money. Search the posts on many different forums and save yourself the aggravation.
If you're itchin to spend money get the Steeda U/D pulleys at least they make a difference in performance.
I gained over 1/10th of a second in the 1/4mile.

You can still use the pulleys with a blower. Why waste money now on something thats not worth it. Even guys with blowers and the stock tb are maxing out hp because they need to build up the internals. Get the pulleys or an off road mid pipe.

Going to agree with Thump and disagree with ren.
The throttle bodies are a complete waste of money JDM dynoed one on a NA car and also one on a blown car. Neither car picked up more than 1hp with the throttle body addition.
And you are supposed to use your stock pulleys with a blower. It has nothing to do with weight. It is because you don't want to "underdrive" your blower.

Right. HP gains are negligent, but what about throttle response?
TR sucks for me... Sometimes I can plant the throttle on the floor and return it to idle without the car responding with more than a blip near the end.
