LS4 Throttle body install
the tb scaler has zero affect on performance. all that does is control the speed of closing on the tb itself.
the m62 doesn't need a ls4 tb on it. it doesn't move enough air. the tvs however, when you start dropping pulley sizes and moving more air can benefit from it. there are some of us who are going wacky with stuff, so more air is good

I dont use that ****, I use snow performance boost juice 50/50 water methanol, no impurities. Washer fluid is 10 percent methanol, 50 percent water and 40 percent "other". I do not like putting "other" through my engine. Not to mention using washer fluid has ZERO affect on AFR and didn't seem to prevent knock very well. The snow stuff richens me by a half point, which lets me use alot less injectory duty.
Well, you should use more than just Windshield fluid...
Im sure you have heard of HEET?
If you find the stuff that DOES NOT have bug remover in it, then its deffinatly wayyyy less impurities.. as i think that 40 percent mark is a little high anyway.

But if you like to pay more for the same stuff go for it.

I can get methanol now for 5 bucks a gallon, water for practically nothing so basically instead of paying 7.50 a gallon for the snow stuff i can make it for half that
Heet is 2 bucks a bottle for only 12oz id need about 10 of them to get a gallon thats even more expensive than what im paying now
