How much HP can ITBs add?
For example, there are bigger block American cars that can run an ITB setup and make close to 100 horsepower while smaller four-cylinder engines could make closer to 30 to 50 horsepower at the wheels.
Are ITBs worth it?
In an engine with ITBs, atmospheric pressure builds outside each cylinder, so when you open the throttle, air enters instantaneously. ITBs also help reduce pumping losses at partial throttle. The difference in throttle response is worth it in high-performance engines, but for normal street cars, it’s unnecessary.

What will a performance throttle body do?
Throttle bodies control how much air enters an engine. Performance ones boost power while keeping the right fuel/air ratio.
Do you need a tune for throttle body?
If you’re just installing a throttle body spacer by itself, then a tune is not necessary. On the other hand if you’re installing this spacer along with a new throttle body or intake or any related parts then a tune is always recommended to receive the most possible gains from your modifications.
