Gotts mod, and skip the throttle body. Same results at hundreds less $$ spent.

Reality.

A programmer is likely to make a favorable difference though.

X2. Cold air intake on our trucks is like flushing money down the crapper. Same goes for a TB. Spend less money on a programmer and reap the benefits!

Because the stock throttle body and intake will already flow more air then the engine can breath. Plus it already breathes cold air from the fender.
