| a few points - that article on my Web site states that more work needs to be done on that subject.  During my next trip to the dyno I was going to do a couple of runs with and without that mod to at least try to begin to collect some data.  That plan got thwarted when I wrecked my Z. While no one has proved that the throttle body mod works, conversely no one has proved that the mod does NOT work, either.  So I don't feel we should be too quick to dismiss it.   Supposedly, Paul from Avalon Racing did show a gain in horsepower with this mod.  I don't have any first hand knowledge of this and only listed that possibility as a "rumor" on my Web site.  That is all.
