M271 - "A2711410025" Bored Throttle Body (Revisit)
If any of you remember, Drex and I concepted the idea of boring out the M271 throttle body and made connections to shops and people who would GUARANTEE a horsepower/torque gain from this mod...so this weekend I got bored with one of two spare throttle bodies I had in the garage and did myself a favor:
About power mods, again, don't chime in here thinking this is some cheap-*** upgrade that will make a HUGE difference...be ready to spend some money on this platform or don't even bother (I've heard and done it all). More details later...

I've had it on for 1 year now. No problems, still the same effect.
I'm pretty sure we have a pic of my before/after dyno when this was installed.

Throttle body
Sorry to do this to you, but I couldn't find the origin of this thread and would realy like to find out what you did to that poor old throttle body, how you did it and what it meant i.t.o more power. I'd like a few extra horses... Could you point me to the beginning, please?

I gained 3.1 hp at the wheels. Here is the dyno chart I posted a while back:
