Unless you have a turbo or SC, you won't notice any gains. I haven't seen a single person state that there were gains after installing a new TB.

I disagree. Do a search, I remember seeing a post of before and after dyno with PROFLOW throttle body. Which I believe is same as King's and showed statistically significant increase in horse power.

I did a search. I couldn't find any dyno charts, but I found this thread that claims no gains based on dyno results.

I have the spoon TB on order... A-J Racing and Spoon claim a 6-7 whp increase.... 70mm I believe... don't know how this compares to the King, but as far as gains from a TB, it has something to contribute.... If there are nay sayers, check it out on A-J's website.... I don't work for free...

anyway, i've ordered the king throttle body, and will send them back my stock one once the modified one has been installed.

i don't plan on TC or SC my car, i am staying NA, and will change the cams, valve, springs later on.

I'll post result after the modified throttle body installed.

I've also read the following post,

and i decided to give it a try.

I really like this throttle body from Ericks Racing
http://www.ericksracing.com/throttlebodys2000.htm

InlineFour.com also has a nice S2000 Throttle body
http://www.inlinefour.com/70bigborbilt.html

These are made from blanks not bored out ones....

i have the spoon tb, and i didnt notice really any thing, not even sound, you are better off just getting an expensive intake or using that money on somthing else.
