BBK TB Questions

Where did you get yours? How much was it? Does it require adjutments or can I bolt in on and go?

Thanks

I bought mine from summit racing but i found it on line cheaper so summit matched the price. I gave summit the web site info and they may or may not have checked it out but they did match the price. I just bolted mine on a drove it.

I also bought mine from Summit Racing. Installed new TPS at the same time, which requires adjustment to .5-1.0 VDC at idle. You also must set base idle with idle adjustment screw, which is very simple. Once the computer has "learned" the new TB, you must start it with the IAC unplugged. Then you adjust the idle adjustment screw to ~750 RPM. Shut it down, plug the IAC back in, and you are done!

How much do they average? I was quoted $220 from Desert Rat today. Is that a lot?

Performance increase

Did any of you change just the throttle body and what increase in performance did you notice after you installed it?
