Man, I too have been searching for mods that would give me some nice gains.
No specs for ya, but all I keep hearing is the usual "15 hp" gains, but this mod is especially $$$ as you gotta rip blower off to get at throttle body.
Big pain = big $$$ per Cory at Klee.
I guess I could piece together another 45 hp..... get Stage 3 cam for 5K....then throttle body mod for 5+K, then full exhaust, but man... 50 hp for 15K. Just can't do it.
Lemme know if you go with it.....curious to see if it's all that.

crap you gotta rip blower off? that sucks, i don't think you need to spend $5000 i think you can just send it to a race machine shop and have them bore it out! i think renntechs are just bored out stock ones. 78mm i think but would call to confirm, I think you can bore out up to 4mm over stock and be ok.

Kleemann's throttle body mod uses the V12biturbo body. My understanding from the Kleemann boys it is a very hard part to get since you need the VIN from a V12biturbo for MB to order it. That part alone is about $1K.
