Yes most will rob some HP...The best ones as far as keeping as much HP as possible would be the disc type dedenbear's or one of the inline linkage types. Otherwise you have a restriction under the carb at all times. Why worry about it personally, if you are throttle stopping the car ultimate ET is not a huge concern anyway.

Its going to depend on the combo as to how much your going to lose.
As Al said, if your running a 'stop you've got more than enough power to run the number, whatever it may be. 1 mph at the finish line isn't going to make that big of a difference.

A throttle stop is no different that you letting up on the throttle going down the track and then putting it back on the floor. How much HP do you loose doing that?
A plate under the carb resticts the amount of air going thru the air pump also know as the motor. Ask the NASCAR boys how much HP it takes away.
There are different arguments as to which system is best.
Different strokes for different folks.
