I believe that Individual Throttle Bodies (ITB's) will add some horse power due to the fact that the engine breaths better. Each throttle body is about 2/3 the size of the single CIS throttle body so I will have 2/3 times 6 the air flow capability which is a 400% increase.
The earlier "S" cars had 200 hp with smaller engines and that is partially due to the fact that the mechanical injection had individual throttle bodies.
There is no doubt that this system is expensive. besides being beautiful, the engine management system (Electromotive TEC-gt) will enable me to tune my car to its absolute best and that will make it more efficient as well as more powerful. I had to save my pennies for a long time to get this system. I'll be starting my install in about a week.
