Since the SC cars seem to be making high 290s / low 300s at the wheels my vote would be a nitrous car. With just a 75-shot my TL would be right at 300whp bone stock so if you got a little more aggressive and sprayed a 100-125 that would probably do the trick imo.

Whoops -- didnt see the TL-S part but my answer stays the same

I did 6 pulls, 3 with IAT sensor in stock location and 3 with IAT sensor in intake tube. In intake tube was average of 2hp and 2tq better.

In his absence, I nominate TLFourPlay's NBP.

WHP: 261
Tq: 241

Well I appreciate that, I read the thread, found my thread and came back to link it and you already did. So yeah, also notice the date I did it, definately the most powerful back than I would assume. I am in kuwait now, will be in iraq for the next 15 months but when I get back here is the plan:

*Extrude hone intake manifold
*Bore Throttle body
*Supercharger
*E-pro cats
*gram light 17"s (with high per summer tires)
*brake upgrade all the way around
*and of course De-Badge....
*(if available) computer tuning
*competition clutch

So I dont know what that all will put me at but I am going to geusstimate about 360 whp

^^ Hey! Did not know you had access. Knew you'd shipped out based on previous posts. Sorry if I stole your thunder.

Watch yourself and take care out there.

I appreciate the love, thanks for posting my thread. Only in kuwait now so there are internet cafes here and there, it just depends on if I have time to stop by. Once in Iraq there will be cafe's here and there also but they get the net shut off a good bit whenever something happens so that nothing is leaked out before family members can be notified. Also you cant go on every web page there, it is filtered. But either way I will pop in here and there. I also have 2 threads to post when I get the time...... One is various MID shots going 150 showing the distance and mpg, it is hilarious, the other is me putting my baby into storage...

Get the pulley. Best money I spent on the car. Revs up faster, very noticeable power increase, and very good mpg increase.

Mr. Burns: Excellent

I can't wait till comptech or someone else steps up with a j35 supercharger (or I should say j32 supercharger for a j35 computer)

I agree don't think tlfourplay's tl can be topped on this site right now in storage that badboys bad lol

wow, im without my car for 10 days and theres already new products!!

this will be for the J32 or J35 ?? What kind of $$ are we talking about and dyno #'s?

seems like a great buy, esp. over the TB spacers which i personally, dont think did alot in turns of throttle response, heatsoak or whp+

what is the spacer ? i am not familiar with the throttle body of the TLS. is is the black hose part with the 2 clamps? the TB spacer was just a thin piece of some kind of material between the block and the intake manifold

thermo spacer really doesn't do anything. it suppose to increase hp by keeping the intake cooler; but most people don't notice anything once it's installed. most performance shops do not carry those things 'cause it's total waste of money. so....if you guys wanna waste your money on this, rethink...take your girlfriend out to nice restaurant or something.

i never dyno'ed individual parts. on the next car, i sure will. the spacers are supposed to provide a better throttle response, and lower RPM torq. probably NO hp gains

I actually removed the Thermoblok Spacers off of mine a few weeks ago. My car deveolped a whistling sound under boost. When I pulled the intake, I could see that the Thermoblok spacer was not sealing fully around the ports eventhough all the bolts were torqued to spec.

The throttlebody spacer does not function the same as the thermoblock spacer. If you notice in my pic up there, I dont evn have the thermoblock spacer btwn me Throttle body and intake....Its a 1" think peice of aluminum with a Helix bore in the center, supposed to spiral A&F going into the manifold for better atomization and mixture....The thermoblock spacer however DOES keep the Manifold and intake cooler, which is always good, HP gains or NOT!
