Anyone have the Webb Motorsports throttle body? How is it held together? Tape? Clamp? ??? Do you notice a difference?

thanks in advance,

I've had one since about June of last year. It is clear taped at the seam and it holding up fine. Doesn't make that much difference, maybe a few HP better and maybe mostly at the top rpm range as dynoed by Helix13.com and posted on NAM.

The throttle response is pretty smooth and I think if you add more mods like larger intercooler, alta intake with hose, cat-back exhaust or less restricted header that would help.

For $400 plus shipping it is an expensive mod for a little gain and not something you should be doing early. For the same price you can get a 15-19% pulley installed in an MCS. The rebored throttlebody in an MC isn't going to add much.

It is a stealthy mod esp if you reuse the stock clip on hose clamp. It doesn't add to any noise
