looks pretty, but stock throttle bodies are good up to about 400hp I think, so don't waste your cash. Is that thing pricy or what?

what does "are good up to" mean? Is this like when you say stock axles "are good up to" 300hp? So my throttle body will brake when i reach 400hp?

Enough with the prickness. Throttle body / intake manifold plenum/runner sizing can a profound impact on the powerband. Whether you view the gain as good or bad all depends on where you want the power. On one dyno test i saw a 8whp peak gain just by switching from 2.75" CAI to a 3" short ram. The area underneath the curve wasnt all that great so i kept the CAI on. Do some experimenting, youll be surprised at what you can learn.
