You will need to visit an all wheel drive dyno. There's a place called show zone in Charleston SC and National Speed in Wilmington NC. There may be others that I am unaware of.

You can do the tb without a tune. Thats usually ok. Do you have a wide band Air/fuel ratio gauge installed?

Oh ok. Well I was going to suggest keeping an eye on it if you do this before a tune just to make sure it's not leaning out. For what it's worth the tb is only good for a few hp and at $300 it's one of those mods I pushed to the very end. Everything else was done, nothing more to do or add for power and so I spent the money for the 10hp. It's a big investment for a very small return. Plenty of other places to spend that money where you will actually feel the difference and not just see a higher dyno number.
