Got mine, thank you Brad/Ben!





One thing I wonder though, would it be wise to put a little Loctite on the two plate screws? I have heard of guys with modified/ported OEM throttle bodies sucking in screws that vibrated loose over the years.

If I were to buy a supercharger, will this part work with that setup? Thanks!

A ported TB is one of those mods where it only becomes more beneficial as you flow more air!

Thanks

Although I haven't tried the hybrid yet, I'm sure it would be similar. My CKN Halltech intake has a larger tube than the Hybrid, but I know Jim likes the Hybrids air flow. I offer a money back guarantee if you're not happy with the product as well. Yes, we can easily do an outright charge without core return too.

As far as the Diablo, they have my buddy Andy's car down there and were working on a CAI tune which I'm guessing the Halltech would work very well with. I know they tweak the torque and trans shift settings too. Give me a call tomorrow to chat if you'd like.

No they're different, even down to the harness connection. They are both 87mm though.

Thanks Ben. Do you have the core exchange program for the lt1 yet? The superchaged comment made me giggle too.
