Since this post, have you had the TB, to use your words, "done right?" Any new dyno results?
Seems like a lot of cash for little return. Not trying to be a D.

One of the biggest factors in the variances is in the testing. You don't simply put the car on the dyno and do three pulls, install a product and do 3 more pulls. You need to data log to confirm all conditions are the same which includes a lot of factors. I still have the manifold on my Camaro and it was worth every penny IMHO. We finished on the podium at every USCA event we've run this year.

GM did leave a fair amount of power on the table but the intake, intake manifold, heads and camshaft offer the highest reward. You're not going to see much more than 10HP with tuning in most cases. The factory LT1 manifold isn't awesome and neither are the heads until they're reworked. I've seen more power from this manifold on the 6th Gen than I have from headers...
You have to look at the entire combination of parts and if someone has a goal of 500-550 WHP then this manifold is a must.
