Default dual and quad throttle bodies?

Kinda a dumb question here but why don't I hear more about the TBies? They seem to be the cheapest way to get the big HP gains. Please correct me if I'm wrong. What are the good points/bad points about them? I know you have to get a new ECU, but other than that they seem to be prett good. Any comments would be appreciated.

Dual Throttle bodies as the name describes are 2 throttle bodies.

Quad throttle bodies have 4 , one for each cylinder. Throttle response is amazing.

so is the power gains aparently. Unfortunately, its mostly all top-end (esp with quads), so street driving becomes trickey i hear.

I'm willing to find out tho, if anyone wants to give a couple grand.

The only company that still sells both is RPW. HVE only will sell the quads if it is for Racing only. For as much as both, you could just place a Supercharger Kit, or Turbo on your car. Cheaper yet, get NOS.
