Need some opinions

I want to buy a new single blade throttle body and a MAF for my truck. But, before I spend $1k, I would first like to know from you guys if there is any noticable performance gains. I not interested in shiney things, nor do I want to start another tuner war, so I will proberly flip a coin to decide who I buy it from.

Thank you for your support

Not a lot of guys will spend $400 and say the part does not work.
Well I am not saying the Single Blade T/B does not work but for the money I can think of 5 other mods I would get first.(E-fan,Heat exchanger,valve body,Powercooler,upper pulley) all IMO will give more bang for the buck.

You should already have a 90mm MAF and a single blade throttle body will only give minimal gains but they have a definate bling factor. I'm proud to open my hood now. You won't have to pay anywhere near $1k for what you want.

For half the price, buy the REM ported and polished stock throttle body. $450 is ridiculous for a TB (IMO), considering the "gains."
