From the eBay posting:
With any 52mm TB, there is no way you are going to see 15-20HP gain. And he claims 100HP gain on a 383..... he's smoking crack. You will see next to nothing on a stock LT1.
GM uses basically the same 48mm LT1 TB on their 502cubic inch/502HP RamJet crate motor......
· 15-20 hp on a stock motor
· 50-100hp w/ cam and mild head work - i.e. valves & hand port
· 100hp+ on hot 383ci and larger motors
· 50-100hp w/ cam and mild head work - i.e. valves & hand port

Yeah I realize those gains are bull... I am just thinking it may help a little. Its no different than SLP claims of 53 hp with their headers. Just thought it may be a cheap upgrade that would help the car breath better.
