Definitley worth it for the throttle response. Don't expect any gains at the track though. I love mine for daily driving.

It is a beneficial mod (power wies) when you start making a lot of HP. I'd GUESS around 450-470 at the rear tires. at that point the stock TB becomes the bottleneck.

Putting it on a mildly modded engine is good for throttle response and Bling.

The more power you are making, the more beneficial a single blade will be

I depends on what you are looking for.

Yes, if you want real snappy throttle response for daily driving. It takes less pedal to take off from a stop and less pedal to maintain cruising speed.

No, if all you want is HP and better times at the track.

Maybe, if your not sure which is more important to you.

Kind of reminds me of the carbuerator day's. Should I get a 800 double pumper or the 700 dp, and it always seemed to depend on what kind of mod's you had on the engine only in reverse! Used to be, you get better response on the low end from the smaller cfm.

They definitely shine more all the way around with more boost.
