The HP curve should not change at all.
HP is made at the higher RPM range, where the car is sucking in 7,500 liters of air per minute (at 6000 rpm). With that volume of air the TechnoTorque doesn't do anything.
Torque is made at half that speed and is really needed below 3000 rpm, especially from idle where the car is only taking in 1,000 liters of air per minute (for a 2.5 liter engine). It's with these smaller volumes of air where we can gain a little efficiency and thus generate more torque.

Thanks for the reply Pedro. Oh, I enjoyed the video and thought it was well done. I don't remember if anybody asked this or if you covered it in your vid, but could you answer what kind of torque and mpg will I get on a 2001 "s" with the curved style throttle body "T"?
Thanks again and I cleaned my throttle body today, with your help of course!
As i said above, I was suprised at the lack of build up in it even after 62k miles.
Side note: I think these are the types of mods a lot of us are looking for. If I can add "x" hp/torque and "x" mpg at a low cost, well that is better than adding x+1 hp and x+1 mgp at a high cost!! We have been talking about these kind of mods behind the scenes for awhle now and a few of us don't think it's worth spending $2k+ on a 15 or 25hp gain. For that money with any other car you get at least a 50 to 100 hp gain.
