Well, I can tell you I have one as well with the Air Raid CAI, also have the Hypertech Programmer. After I purchased the throttle body, I saw posts on here that say it is useless for fuel injected vehicles or something along those lines. Since I am a newby and not knowledgable in that area, I cant say.
Do I notice a difference, cant tell you that either becaus ethe CAI and Hypertech mods completely woke up the engine. Youll be happy with the CAI, good choice.
I installed everything at once, thus no basis to make a claim either way on the tbs. Ill let others speak on that.

I had mine in for a week but took it out. There is an annoying whistle sound when the unit is working , I found the performance benefit not to be enough to justify the noise coming from not only the motor but from my wife too.

Maybe look at getting new gears if you want better performance and mpg's. then get a programmer.
