this is the first topic someone mentions about AW TB... i dont think anyone has it.. its a bit pricey and i think you need a custom hose to fit that TB into your aftermarket intake...

Plus the gains NA even with I,H,E are only 1 to 3 hp not worth it.

it doesn't giv much hp if you ONLY have the throttle body... but if you combine it with other bolt on's it helps ALOT...

Indeed

Like someone else said, by itself it probably will not yield much higher HP output. It would be beneficial to a more highly modified motor, and would definitely improve throttle responce.

Let us know what you think of the ZPI head once you get it installed. I was thinking about getting it myself, but I haven't seen any dynos or anyone who has actually installed one yet.

alphawerks i,h,e & throttle-combined did 24hp & 19tq.

not to hijack the topic, but i'm also looking into doing the zpi head package. right now i'm waiting to do s-pipe & aw header. intake & catback def did give me some extra power. was talking to acasanova bout this-with all these things, we could probably get really close to 200hp on a na tc. an aem intake, dc header & exhaust dyno'd 18hp i think. hopefully the CC catback, aw header(which has better gains the dc) & sec wep intake/ram air/cold air box(aem only gave 4hp) combined could give u almost 25-30hp. s-pipe & throttle body, could give you another couple hp. if u have the money do the zpi head package. finally, a camcon-which on a stock tc except intake did about 12hp in hot assed AZ heat. supposedly more mods mean higher camcon gains. then add in a grounding kit, voltage stabilizer, & engine dampener, you could definitely be around 200hp. all this would still be cheaper($2500) than goin with the trd supercharger which would give u about the same hp number to the wheels. according to some, the trd charger wouldn't even give u 200 to the wheels. if those numbers work out, i for one am def going to stay na. don't wanna really wanna deal with a turbo. either supercharger of na for me.

Hey Yellow, im also looking into the ZPI head package ,however it has been months and no word on the Dynos they promised and not to mention a beep out of them. regarding this. I wonder if they are currently persuing this or gave up on the Head project. I really want to hear customer feedback on this as well as documentation, data to confirm or corroborate their claims. I believe if this "Head package" yields the gains they claim then 200 = hp CRANK is very plausible . With simple Head package I,H, full exhaust 200hp crank is easily attained. Hope ZPI finally gets to this subject, not to mention ;what are the Cons of such a modification in detail. Im familiar with gas octane and simple issues.
