Doesn't make much sense to me either. TB will give you a certain gain,
that gain amount depends on other components in the engine. Adding headers
to the TB will give you more gain than just the TB under the right
conditions, and the gain amount depends on other components. It's hard to
get accurate predictions without knowing anything about the motor the
upgrades are going on. Adding one could give you a gain, putting both
could take power away, or they can give more power than just the one. Some
mods must have other components changed to allow the first mod to produce
more power. It's a lot of math and a lot of head scratchin'.
