Default jlt vs. bbk

i currently have the bbk cai and was looking at the jlt, their big hp claim caught my eye. does anyone think the switch would be worth it or not at all and would the jlt fit a aftermarket throttle body? also the painted option was cool

I love my JLT intake. They are local here. Just call them up and talk to them about it. They aren't always out to make a sale if it's not gonna help you.

You'd be wasting your money. All the CAI's perform roughly the same. Its been discussed many times. Your tuner will tell you the same thing.

I think the switch might gain you about 0.573 RWHP.... or was it LOSE 0.573 RWHP? Whatever it is, I'm sure I won't miss your couple of hundred $$'s finding out...

Enough sarcasm. Not worth the change.
