Really wouldn't be worth it though, the intake port on the UIM is the same size as your T/B. You probably wouldn't realize much of a gain without going with an SVT UIM. But, if you ever get your UIM off, take a dremel and grind out the bumps inside the port, good for at least a HP or two.

Nope.. the throttle body / linkage is totally different. You'd have to get the new T/B, Mount, Cable, yadda yadda yadda. :rolleyes: It'd be better to do everything all at once, SVT UIM, LIM, TB, Mount, Cable. wouldn't be TOO expensive..
