You lost torque with the Helix Power Tower?
I'm not putting down the helix or putting down zubaltec's testing, I'm just stating what little statistics I know.

I just put the Poweraid throttle body spacer (same as the Helix)on my '01 SR (3.4 v6). One thing I noticed on the box was that their graphs show increased torque at the lower end, but that at the top end there should be little to no difference. I did notice a little more kick (just seat of the pants, no dyno involved) around 2000rpm or so, but the top end feels the same as before.
Also, from what I understand about intakes, the TBS lengthens the intake runners, which is supposed to increase torque, but won't do anything with a supercharger because the air isn't being pulled into the cylinder, it's being pushed. Lots more theory and math behind all this that I only vaguely remember and couldn't really explain. I was hoping to get my truck on a dyno both before and after, but couldn't wait any longer. However, if I ever do get to spend a day with a dyno I'll try to make a few runs with and without it. So far I'm happy though.

Got My "O" shaped Throttle Body Gasket -- What is the Torque Spec.
Yeah, can anyone tell me the Torque Specs of the Throttle Body Bolts? There are 4 of them. Keep in mind that I have a supercharger. Not sure if it makes a difference.
Thanks.....
Thanks.....
