Got mine from "Programbo" $120 for the 99+ intake manifold and a set of 703 injectors shipped to my door.

Your mpg's will drop a bit, but in my opinion dollar for dollar, the bored throttle body is the best performance upgrade for you buck. I'd get it before.

Don't hurt MPGs if you drive sanely. Not necessary to get one with any other mod. Great bang for the buck as expressed above.

Your MPGs will suffer a bit for the first tank full of gas because you're gonna play. Normal.

Lol that's what I meant by suffer because you're going to want to take anything that comes up next to you off the line and a lot you will successfully. You stomp on the pedal and it's there almost immediately.

Also do not get a throttle body there are countless people on here saying they're pointless. With one and the bored throttle body you're going to get a loud whistle when accelerating that is going to turn every ricers head.

How do you guys solve the whistle at 2500 rpm under a load on these bored tb's? I've just spent 2 days pulling it off 40 times trying different things. One guys claims he fixed his but didn't mention how it did it.

Not sure mine is minimal with just a bored Tb and doesn't really bother me too much.
