Statistically speaking, I think the stock numbers and helix numbers are too close to say he lost or gained hp or torque. He needs to do a lot of runs for that little difference to be statistically significant. So basically, the numbers are within the error variability produced by the dyno, truck and test method.

I'm not putting down the helix or putting down zubaltec's testing, I'm just stating what little statistics I know.

I just put the Poweraid throttle body spacer (same as the Helix)on my '01 SR (3.4 v6). One thing I noticed on the box was that their graphs show increased torque at the lower end, but that at the top end there should be little to no difference. I did notice a little more kick (just seat of the pants, no dyno involved) around 2000rpm or so, but the top end feels the same as before.

Also, from what I understand about intakes, the TBS lengthens the intake runners, which is supposed to increase torque, but won't do anything with a supercharger because the air isn't being pulled into the cylinder, it's being pushed. Lots more theory and math behind all this that I only vaguely remember and couldn't really explain. I was hoping to get my truck on a dyno both before and after, but couldn't wait any longer. However, if I ever do get to spend a day with a dyno I'll try to make a few runs with and without it. So far I'm happy though.

Yeah, can anyone tell me the Torque Specs of the Throttle Body Bolts? There are 4 of them. Keep in mind that I have a supercharger. Not sure if it makes a difference.

Thanks.....
