8rwhp I think is on the forced induction cars only. I don't know though. It's the zabateck throttle body. I checked their site and it says nothing about the cost. I got this info from chrisc. He knows more about it and is/has it installed on hist vortech h/o car. He'll tell you about it when he sees this.

A throttle body is not gonna net those gains maybe for FI, but for na is worthless. Use that money to get some nittos instead

We will find out if it is worthless, I just installed one on my car last night. I seem to have a lot of thing people say are "worthless" on a N/A car, but I seem to have the quickest one. Hmmmmm. They are $325 shipped and do not have the coolant passages, so if you have a 05 you have to do the coolant bypass. If the rain holds off this weekend I will be at the track to test it out.
