Anyways, he said it came with a tune that was done by the dealership. Just how beneficial would a larger throttlebody be on the LSJ's? I've been considering purchasing this very soon, then getting stage 2. Also, due to the fact that the diameter of the tb is larger than oem, it has been recommended that i have the snout of the supercharger be machined to the same diameter. Is this going to be necessary?
Here is the part I'm referencing:

Not to call your friend a liar but I don't believe what he is saying. The intake side of the LSJ flows very well and even with snout machining the supercharger is still the stumbling block and it's not due to air flow, but heat. In my opinion your money would be spent better elsewhere. Particularly on cooling and traction mods.
