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!!

4# pulley only...tb is fun buy it dont add chit...

 

I'd say NO!

but it's your money.

 

No.....get somethin else

 

Made no difference in my quarter mile times. Though you can feel a little faster response when driving normal.

 

No improvement in peak HP on a stock truck.

And If I were you towing, I'd go the 2# pulley w/tuned chip route.

WOT

 

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!!!!

 

A TB really won't add HP, just improve throttle response. I had one and it was worth every penny, IMHO, but I already had quite a few mods and was just looking to increase the fun factor of the truck.

 

Just port and polish you stock unit; that's what I did. Only cost you some time and the bits if you don't already have them.

 

its the best waste of money out there!

 

I got mine used at half the price, and it has worked out wonderfully. By the way, that was the only way I would have purchased one.

 

me too, i bought mine used for half price, but still dont think it was really worth it

 

I bought an Accufab used for half price and it didnt change a thing. It is a nice piece but I saw no better throttle response or performance. Dont waste your money.

 

I bought mine used for a great price as well. I don't think it was really worth it either.

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!!!
