It is completely unnecessary to swap in a BBK, unless you have higher flowing heads. It sounds like you need to shop around a little if you were saying the stock replacement TB is $700. I would take my chances in a junk yard for that money.

Only difference I had was a stiffer petal, also had to port match the intake because of annoying whistle sound.
Even with gt-40x heads with the stock tb was fine
