Default Found a BBK Twin 62mm Throttle Body. What to do with it?

I got one of these a while back with some other stuff, but it has just been sitting in my room at my place on campus because I figured it was just another throttle body. However, I just got to looking and I believe it is the Twin 62mm BBK Throttle body. It sells on AM for $320 here. They advertise 10-15 RWHP and 20-25 RWTQ increases. I found a video(below) that somewhat supports that(they dyno the car at the end). Would it be worth it to put this on my car since I essentially got it for free, or would it be better suited for me to sell it and use the money for something like headers or save towards a cam?

here is a picture of the one I have(I am away from it right now so I can't verify, but I know that it's BBK and the 62mm is the only one that I see for sale from BBK.)

I see the BBK go fast sticker in the pic, but that looks like a Ford emblem on the TB itself on the right hand side of the pic..hard to make it out for sure.

If it is a BBK, I think you're better off selling it to me and using that $25 towards your new cams

From the pic on AM, the BBK has the slots on the top of the TB. That looks like a ford TB. Measure the butterflies.

I'll check when I go back over there. I remember it coming in a BBK box but it could be a stock TB.

A BBK box with the stock part in it from someone putting the BBK on their stang and putting the factory one back in the box.

That would make sense. I didn't pay anything for it, it was included for no real reason. I just thought I got (another) freebie. The guy sent me an underdrive pulley kit as well, but I sold it a while back. Anyway, thanks guys! At least I know I don't need to waste a trip up to campus to get it.
