VIPER Throttle Body

OK, I'll call BS on the Dyno. Not because I think it's fake, but because I believe there is a glaring omission. If and probably there was a DiabloSport Predator in the mix where the majority of power increase came from. That along with a custom tune that gets all it can out of a viper throttle body and the components installed.
OK, I have the reply from the Hypertech technician and I have sent my programmer to them in exchange for one with the new software update. I will report back to all when I have recieved, loaded programming and running with the new settings...I can't wait! I am espically excited about playing around with the proposed "larger throttle body" settings. I hope the turnaround comes before Thanksgiving. The only thing I hate is running BACK TO STOCK without the extra ponies and 1.5 MPG! I can read the MPH off of my GPS but my JK is just a dirfferent vehicle without it. Still with the VIPER throttle body performance, it is better than stock.
I have been running my VIPER TB for many months and miles now with no problems or codes thrown. I agree with the enhanced peformance pertaining to acceleration and WOT that others are seeing. It idles smoother and has a nice power feel as compared to stock...no dyno data. I problay saw an average 0.5 to MPG mileage increase with the mod. I have run this with the factory ECU settings and the Hypertech REGULAR tune...I am extremely happy with both. I am now testing the soon-to-be-released Hypertech "VIPER" TB tune (setting) in their new software since right before Thanksgiving. Again, I am extremely happy with the performance I am getting from this combination (TB + Hypertech tune). I am seeing faster acceleration, power and MPG increase of 1 to 2.0 MPG. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS INCONCLUSIVE since I have been running the new tune for about 150 miles and the ECU has not fully adjusted to it yet. My initial impression is "WOW" from the seat-of-pants meter and observed MPG. I will need to run several tanks of fuel to get some final impressions and true MPG increase.

I will post an update for you guys.
I have a 2009 with AEM intake, the TB is running fine. The only problem is a whistle at light throttle/cruse. I had a misfire issue and took off the viper TB while I was trying to find the issue (it had no effect) After running without it I really notice that the Viper TB gave me better throttle responce and more power.
I have a screemin deamon coil and wires on the way with new plugs. Then Viper TB will go back on after I run the new coil for a week.
