Default Next mod....

Now that I have BBK LTs, BBK OR/X, Flowmasters,Steeda UDP's, 4:10s ....is the BBK Twin 62mm Throttle body worth it or not even worth the hassle, I hear good stories and I hear horror stories, im just trying to look into my next mod, so what do you guys think?

Just get the kit that allows you to use the gt500 throttle body. Its around the same price and there is no swapping of parts. just unbolt yours and bolt on the gt500 one and plug it in.

Bigger throttle bodies aren't worth the hassle. You're not going to see any gains. But, if you insist on a throttle body get the GT500 one.

^+1 They are useless unless you're F/I. Even then the gains are marginal at best. Spend your money elsewhere.

I was thinking about some suspension also, but I dunno just looking into things, I was looking at a cam, but right now money is kinda tight and thats gonna cost quite a penny, i guess ill just keep saving and forget the throttle body i read like 7rwhp for it i can't see spending $399 for 7 RWHP worth it..lol

I bought one of the GMS TB's and nothing but problems with it. The increasesthrottle response was great, but the problem was that the rpm's wouldn't drop after you took your foot off the gas. It would literally stay wherever you revved/accelerated to and slowly fall down to about 1000-1200 rpm's.
