Default Bad Throtle body

I have gotten 4 bad T-bodies and alot stories from Grannatelli Motor Sports. I am considering a BBK for my 2007 GT. I need feedback on any T-body problems or success

why not the original?? There are many threads on the forum about this. There is nothing wrong with the TB on the car. Do not change it. You are asking for problems.

I'm keeping the stock one on. But if I had to choose one I'll get the BBK. I haven't heard any horror stories about BBK.

My personal experience was bad with a Motoblue and I know MANY others that have had nothing but trouble. I hear about 50/50 on the BBK units.
