Default Question

Right now my ECS supercharger is being installed. I'll never get the TB before they start tuning so my question is, would it need a tweak to the tune if I installed the TB after they're done?

Nope (speaking from experience).

Looking forward to your results!
Do you have any other mods like CAI or a tune? Or completely stock?

Regardless of HP/TQ results, every one of you will notice some incredible throttle response changes. I'm personally looking forward to hearing everybody's positive experiences.

I wouldn't be advocating this mod if I didn't feel some immediate SOTP changes (and while Ben wasn't advertising these yet when I had mine done, the results are solid).

Absolutely... I wonder if there's any interest to add the aFe intake and ported TB at $999 shipped with a core charge return of $290 for any of you mathematicians? I have several on order that should ship by next Friday I'm told.
