Agreed. Spend the extra $200-$300 on something else.

Like datalogging and PROM equipment You'll get a lot more power out of that than any throttle body upgrade. Or if you don't want to mess with that kind of stuff, go upgrade your suspension. You could get an adjustable torque arm for about the same price, or you could go with SFCs, LCAs, and LCA relocation brackets all together for a few more dollars. You'll notice far more of a difference doing that stuff than upgrading the throttle body..

Or start saving for a 350 In fact, I say get rid of the long tube runner setup. Get a miniram or stealthram setup, and then spend the $300ish you save on the throttle body upgrade to buy a 350 motor, and buy some AFR heads instead of hte Edelbrock ones (I don't know the price difference, but I know AFRs are expensive!) and bolt those to your 350 block, and then you'll have one hell of a setup

kinda hard to give an estimate without knowing the exact cam specs and heads.
