    Throttle Body Flow Booster

    http://www.madvet.com/shop?store=3.&frame=457

    Sort of a big claim for a little price. Worth it? I'm curious because
    even I can do that installation. I need to start small and accomplish
    something to get over my lame 'it's a Corvette' fear. And WTF, extra
    hp is extra hp.

    Pure B.S. Buy one, if it will make you feel better.

    Do you think GM would miss something like this that made 12 H.P?

    It's a feel-good upgrade. You know how your car always runs better after
    you wash & wax it, or how much more fun it is to drive when a complete
    stranger compliments your car? Sort of like that. I doubt there is much,
    if any, HP improvement from a cheap little piece of metal, although I'm sure
    there are plenty of meatballs who will tell you otherwise.

    Newer throttle body designs were more streamlined like this device. There is
    also one made by TPIS that supposed to swirl the air so that laminar flow is
    improved into the plenum. They has flow studies to back it up fwiw.
    Definitely doesn't make 12 HP though.

    LOL
    You MIGHT see 12 hp IF you had the exhaust/airfilter upgraded AND
    reprogrammed the ECM
    AND over 6000 RPM with this airfoil.

    As far as day to day driving.... nada, zip, zilch, seat of the pants
    difference.

    i have the throttle booster... it makes a noticable throttle response
    difference but none that i can feel in the seat. it is supposed to flow
    40cfm better at 3000rpm and up. not sure how effective it really is but it
    makes sense to me that it will smooth out the air turbulance at high rpms.
