single blade throttle body...is it worth it?
Hello all!
I have a relatively stock 02 L (cold air kit, boost by-pass mod, Bassani cat-back) and was considering adding a single blade throttle body. I have read that it is worth 10 to the wheels...anyone have any experience with it??
I know it would be cheaper to just add a new blower pulley to gain some HP but I drive this truck everyday and it tows my 4,000lbs detail trailer 6 days a week...so I don't know if more boost is the way to go.
Your thoughts/experience on this is greatly appreciated!!

Ok.......You might want to do a search.
But, the best mods to do first are a chip, pulley and cone filter.
The Single Blade Trottle Body is a mod that will help you later down the road when you get a little more extreme with things.
So, where you are at with mods, I would wait on it and get something else.....Electric fan? Traction Bars? Slicks? Larger Pulley?
These are just my ideas, hope this helps!!!!

I might even try to sell mine soon. There are plenty of other mods that would be a better choice.

Thanks for all the great input folks!! I guess I'll divert funds elsewhere!!
My main concern is the fact that my L spends 75% of its time with a trailer hooked up to her....so I need to make tow friendly mods. I would love to have a nice 4# pulley, a radical computer tune and some long tubes but it is not practical for me.
This is a great site...thanks for helping a newbie out!!!
