So last night I stayed late at shop and installed a X-Metal Throttle Body and at the same time I installed a new Crank pulley and smaller belt. Thanks again to Dan at DC performnace for getting me the pulley setup at a great price and thanks to Gary at X-Metal for the quick shipping. They both arrived same day. 
I have to say, the TB really looks cool. You dont realize how ugly the old one is untill you see the nice shiny Xmetal TB. I will try and get pics up,but you all have probably seen other threads so you know what it looks like.
So immediately i felt a better throttle response. It definately gave me a feeling of more power. So I did some normal driving and some hard driving last night and decided to dyno today. More to just make sure a/f was doing ok. It was spot on, which was good. I wasnt expecting high hp #'s. It was very hot today. So last visit to my local dyno, I put down 487rwhp and 512rwtq. Today I dyno'd 496rwhp and 522 rwtq. Just from adding crank pulley and TB. And it was 30 degrees hotter then last time I dyno'd. I know machine corrects but still it was warmer air instead of cooler. So im happy to see these results. And I know you all want before and after same day results just as i do. But it just wasnt possible due to my schedule. So again, Im happy with resluts,its something I can feel. Its a small amount to some but it all adds up and is something anyone can do in their own garage. I will see how I stack up against my buddies this weekend on the roll on racing.
