Single Blade VS Ported stock TB

I was wondering if it would be worth it to change my stock ported TB to an single blade TB....I think i just wanna spend some money and i dont no what else to do...

Would it be worth the $400

Just save a little more money up and have your blower ported by Apten Performance.

Ditto. The ported blower will put you at just about the max hp you'd want to risk on a stock block.

Wow were are you guys reading about ported blowers. He is talking about changing his Throttle body and I hav no clue. But my 2 cents the Singal balde should give you more air flow.

Much nicer than a stock one. I got mine on Ebay for $370 shipped. I guess I got lucky.

Ther is NO HP gain in any kind of throttle bodys.They are are complete waste of money and anybody who has researched it will tell you the same.If you like shiney metal and are under the illusion that one oval bore is better then 2 round ones then get it but out of ALL lightning mods,This is the most cost UNFRIENDLY mod you can get!.Anybody who differes opinion,needs to show me a dyno.Your better off with the over priced plastic thingy Jdm calls a spacer. At least it Might give you a few Hp,The TB WONT

I say you can't beat the air flow you get with that one big blade. I noticed a pretty significant change on my L when I put mine on.

I remember seeing a dyno in MM&FF when they did the article for KB. Didn't they show a dyno before and after the accufab TB? Also would the same hold true for a turbo lightning or a lightning with a centrifical supercharger flowing higher than stock cfm?
