    I was just wondering if it would be worth the 60-70$ to buy a ported and polishd throttle body from ebay there are several available? Also they have a 80mm for like a $100 would this fit???? Thanks for the advice please be honest if these are total junk etc...

    Minimal horsepower increase

    Minimal horsepower increase, should be one of the last mods you do.

    $60-$70 for smoother acceleration and a few HP increase to me isnt really a debate. Just make sure it isnt ported to far, check the feedbacks.

    I have seen the same product on ebay. They have always seemed to have good feedback. They claim 10-15 hp increase on stock ls1s and .2 off 1/4 mile times is this believeable?
