Unless you're FI or internally modded, any of those TB's you mentioned will provide no HP gain. The stock TB provides as much flow as a NA and non-modded engine can handle. Not to mention the install issues that an unusually high percentage of forum members have had.

Agreed about it being worthless without a supercharger or some heavy mods. I installed the BBK throttle body in about 30 min with no issues though

IMHO, the BBK is crap, and has had a great reputation for that. Like Nuke said, unless you are FI, both will net you a 0hp gain. I have actually seen an 8 hp loss with the BBK on Doug's dyno on a "stock" gt with a tune and cai.

BBK is crapy. I have one, granted im in a V6 but the thing has caused problems with the running of the car. If you do get a TB jsut stay away from BBK.


(Havent had a day to take it off yet but damn i need to)

i think that you picked up that extra 12hp cause of temperature differences or different air conditions. I have had multiple tuners tell me that the only FI vehicles you are gonna see an honest gain from the TB is a positive displacement blower. Our Centri's wont benefit from a bigger TB
