I'm starting to get the feeling MM&FF has never met a modification they don't like. I just finished reading the Oct '05 MMFF and can't help but question the results from the throttle body swap on an '05 GT. They claim a 16hp and 28 lb-ft torque gain with no other changes. BS. The 55 mm dual bore throttle body on the '05 is already big - big enough to support over 400 hp. If you want an objective idea of how much TB you need, check out Richard Holdener's 5.0 dyno test book. He rightfully points out that a big TB adds no power on a stock 5.0 since the TB is not the bottle neck. Given how big the stock '05 TB is, I'll bet it's the same case. My guess is they retuned it after the TB swap and the gains came from the tune. Then, there's the article on x-pipes. The first photo caption states: "The stock piece was removed and tossed in the garbage. As usual, the aftermarket parts were better." Take a look at the charts; no system gained more than 3 hp, on average, over the stock system. A $450 x-pipe that gains 3 hp is a complete waste of money, and MMFF should have stated that. But that might piss off the companies that advertise in their magazine. Don't get me wrong, I think MMFF is an entertaining magazine. But for objective reporting on modifications, I will look elsewhere.
