Confused about TBS?!

RE: Confused about TBS?!
VERDICT: Well I have an open (fee mod) intake so if I got the torque curve it would bug me after awhile. I'll use the smooth bore and if Im not satisfied I'll wait til I get an intake (Volant) and then get a torque curve TBS.

LOL, if that bugs you don't ever drive a turbocharged sports car i.e. VWs, WRXs, EVOs, DSMs, etc. My Conquest was a spooling, chirping noise box. No cats and mufflers with the exhaust coming out the right side... turbo to straight pipe, LOL! VROOM-SWOOOOSH, *fluttery chirp*, SWOOOOSH *fluttery chirp*, SWOOOOOOOOOOSH *fluttery chirp*, Good times!

Well, maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I had a spiral core TBS on my 91 with an open 14" air cleaner and a K&N, it was loud enough to hear over the radio at times. But since my 91' was such a dog you had to give it alot of gas on the highway and therefore heard the TBS all the time. (I drive the highway like 90% of the time).

Well, I have to say that the increase is true on my 0-60, but I have said many times that my free exhaust slowed me down so this helped get some back It is a true 1.004 second increase believe it or not. Also I have noticed a 1-2 mpg increase if I take it easy, but a 1 mpg decrease if Istay on it. You have to pay to play. Overall I average a 1 mpg increase in this HOT as hell weather (106 today and I am nt taking heat index) and I stay in it alot.

I get my TBS today, by tomorrow it should be on there. I'll let you guys know how it works out. Oh and my 91' was a dog compared to my 99'. My 91' was a 305 TBI with 200hp (max) and I stepped it up to about 230hp with mods but with 3.23 gears and 33" tires, it dogged quite a bit. It did hold up beautifully off-road tho.
