Hey all,
Out from left field...has anyone had experience with a MVP throttle body or a similar mod? I'm having a phase I cam, new header and 2.5" complete exhaust installed in the next couple of weeks and found some posts in the archives that a modified throttle body can also add HP with the addition of a new cam, header, and exhaust. I'm not looking to buy it, but I'm curious nevertheless. I bet with the price to pay, the HP increase is really small especially on a NA automatic brick! OR is this upgrade really for only a turbo model??
Oh yeah, as a recent college grad (this past May) who is living back at home :( for the time being trying to save some flow, the 'rents think I'm nuts with the talk of spending money and all these upgrades...perhaps a little, but I love my brick!!

Many thanks as always,
-Adam
