I don't know about the actual dyno specs on this, but I got a Helix TBS. I felt an increase in HP and I measured better gas mileage. I don't have a bigger TB or anything, and I think I'm going to get one. I'll probably get rid of the spacer then, but for now I like it.

I purchased a TBS and although i didn't expect a gain in mileage or power i was pleasantly surprised. It didn't increase my mileage but around 1 mpg but there was a definite increase in power. Mainly low end but my truck definitely helped. I was definitely surprised when i noticed the power increase. I have a 97 5.2 4x4 cc auto. Think what you want but i figured what the hell - and gave it a shot and i was quite happy.

its a good intimidation factor, if you have one for the 4.7 then you know what i mean. everyone here thinks i have a supercharger or turbo so even the big dogs are afraid to run me.heheheh i did run a 98 TA 2nd gear run to 50 i pulled about a half truck on him and stayed there till 50 then i let off. ( i know once those things get wound up they fly) he was pissed and this was in front of a bunch of riced out civics and eclipses. needless to day all i get is the nod from these guys now, nt the usual ricer rev! i have run a newer GS-T from a 10 roll to speedlimiter ( darn thing) and i put 5 trucks on him.
You gotta ask yourself one question...That Thing Got A HEMI???
