Besides a smoother idle and throttle response have you noticed any gains in fuel mileage???

Just cleaned the TB so it is a little too soon to see any impact on fuel mileage. I'll let you know if I notice any gains. Every 10 to 12k would probably be a good idea. I figure whenever you would normally change your air filter, clean the TB too.

It takes a regular socket just fine. U don't need to torque it down much so they will do the job. Don't remember the size though.
