Default THROTTLE ROTOR a good mod??

Have any of you guys seen or heard of this before. Do you think it would be a mod worth it's money? $24.95

Here goes a pic of it installed:

Any thoughts?

well it won't give you more power, but it will give you almost instant throttle response. I had one on my prelude and I really liked it. It took a while to get used to the pedal feel after I installed it, but for the price it's a pretty useful mod. As far as getting a bigger throttle body, i suppose you could get one and pick up 5 hp for a mere 2 or 300 dollars, but larger throttle bodies aren't very beneficial unless you port match the hole on the intake to the throttle body. that's when you start to see nice gains from a TB

I may order it but I am going to check autozone or strauss and see how much it cost.

I bought mine from importstudio.com, but I can't remember how much. Heck I don't even know if they are still around or not. You might also try Weapon-R's website for dealers, cuz they are the ones that make the rotors if I'm not mistaken. Hope this helps

You can buy directly from Weapon R for like $25-30 shipped...

I bought one and put it on 1 day before I got my JG overbore TB and it makes a world of difference IMO...You get more throttle response with less pedal travel.

The JG overbored TB gave a nice response and power gain but it wasn't as much of a felt/perceived gain as the Weapon R rotor...

Now I just have to put my braided ss brake lines and get an Xtreme pressure plate and the pedals will all be equally stiff for that Ferrari pedal feel

cant you do the same thing by tightening your throttle cable?
