Default BBK throttle body

Twin 62mm BBK throttle body. Would you recommend getting this? Would you recommend I have something before getting this? Give me some input.

From what I have heard, the BBK TB is nothing but problems. Are you FI? If not, why change it??

I had one, took it off and sold it. You have to calibrate it to you TPS, even after calibration it would run weird.

Not worth it for only 8hp. Spend your money on other things.

From what I have read yes you can, JDM has the GT500 TB on their400RWHP N/A Mustang.
But the 420RWHP N/Acar they built for the GM of Galpin Auto Sports, uses the stock TB, so you must ask is it worth it, maybe after you go FI.
