I understand your faulty reasoning perfectly well. According to it, if you pay $15k for a throttle body air foil it should produce around 10x the HP of ported heads+custom cam.

The cost of the mod plus the cost of a completely different mod plus the dyno gain of the different mod tells you exactly zero about the dyno gain of the first mod.

No, it's painfully obvious that you don't and have dug in your heels. I'm through with this.

Interesting that I'm the one with dug in heels, when in my followup I clarified why there is a problem with the argument you made, whereas your last two posts have said nothing at all to support the argument you made or to address my criticism of it.

Can't find anything definitive over on camaroz28 either. Here's another data point:

Do not put a resistor in the sensor connector. That trick goes back to the 3rd Gens where the speed-density models would run a little richer with a 57degF IAT temp (4.7Kohms). I've seen a number of reports of people dynoing the resistor and losing HP on the LT1.
