Modification comments:
The TB was installed on October 10, 2009. It took the engine computer quite some time to adapt to the unit. The speed control still surges, about 2 seconds throttle on, 3 seconds shut off. Sort of a gentle wave like sensation in the vehicle.

TB was done by Ron
I experienced increased power and 29-32 hwy mpg in my 2004 Chevy Impala after a 20 minute throttle-body modification. Every car & truck owner should be doing this, especially fleet owners!
I don't think the mpg was a good test, as the car had so much more power, I just HAD to use it:) Keep up the good work!

This is caused by the groove being too close the throttle plate on computer-controlled throttles.
To correct for this, the solution is simple: "Move The Groove".
Please send the TB back to me for a refit.
