Default Individual Throttle Bodies

If anyone who fitted ITB to there car is seeing my message, I would like to know the main disadvantages you come across when driving a car with ITB. I use my car on weekends mostly but do go on long trips occassionally. I am asking this since I heard that the car may not idle correctly etc.. thanks

the car will probably sputter a lil bit. ITB's like to be either on the throttle or not. if you hold the gas pedal down the way you would normally drive, it will run rich and you might stall

if you have an aftermarket hood depending on the itb you will have to cut the reinforced part
once i put the hood down it would not fit
it is not a daily driver so i would not know about long term effects

Thanks for comments, I am getting the feeling that for my purposes ITB will give too much hassle. I think I would be better off with supercharger all things considered. From england (I live in europe) a quote for a Jackson racing supercharger came up to just over $6000 which in my opinion is quite high. the kit also included uprated injectors,clips,belt,8psi pulley and hondata heatshield however. What is your opinion on the price? btw love your pony TOM

that sounds alittle high
i thought s/c setups cost around 3900-4200
if you are not installing it yourself, then you have to add in installation cost
