IMO, if he has an internally stock motor he isn’t going to notice much of a gain from a new IM. I know the Skunk2 IM for a stock H22 was worse for about 3/4 of the curve and then gets you like 2hp on the top end - I’m sure the profile for the B-series stuff is different, but I can’t imagine the GSR IM is that weak. I would say there is no point in putting money into the TB/IM if you are N/A and internally stock. People make a lot of power on the stock GSR TB/IM. I think he’d be better off saving his pennies for some cams.

This is pretty much just my opinion, so if someone knows definitively that there are big gains in the TB/IM for a stock N/A GSR I’d love to hear about it.

This is exactly what I keep bringing up. Adding an IM/TB on an internally stock motor will HURT the power curve with the exception of really high RPM. Every time I say that people get pissed. It’s been proven time and time again, do your research.
