Is it worth it, if so, what gains are expected? -------------------- Travis 2002 35th Anniversary SS #1757 Click here to see my 35th LE SS!

Unless you plan on adding forced induction, save your $$$ and mod elsewhere - the stock TB will flow just fine. Having said that, I like mine. After installing it, I had the dreaded 'BBK whistle' (sounded like a s/c, heheheh). That got old fast so I polished out all the sharper edges of the internal duscts with a dremel - walla! No More whistle. Also, the BBK throttle spring is quite stiff - some folks don't like it. But it does look really nice... -------------------- 2001 SS: #2853, Screaming Blue Metallic, 6M, All GM Options, SLP SS Grill, SLP ZR1 Chrome Wheels, SLP Floor Mats & Custom Deck Mat Mods: TR220 cam, SLP LT Headers, SLP Y Pipe, Borla Cat-Back, NGK TR55-IX Iridium Plugs, Taylor Thundervolt Wires, Hypertech Power Programmer & 160 Thermostat, SLP !CAGS, SLP CAI, SLP Lid, SLP Air Temp Module, K&N, BBK TB, BMR TB bypass, SLP Bolt-on SFCs, BMR PHR, BMR LCA, BMR Tunnel Brace, BMR STB, Motive 3.73 gears, TA Diff Cover, Redline Synthetic Everywhere, Pro-5.0 Shifter / Lou's Short Stick, Zaino, PIAA Hi/Lo Bulbs, Silver MacEwen Gauges, T/A Bezel, Xenon/Blue Dash Bulbs, LA Tint, MBA Billet Aluminum Pedals.
