I am really thinking about getting this, but I'm not sure if I would notice a difference with my current mods. Anyone out there have it? Also, it says it's a 78mm, what is the stock TB size for a sn95 GT?

There was a discussion about this a few weeks ago. If your TB & Plenum are still stock then go for it, but if you already have an aftermarket TB & Plenum then leave it alone bc it's not worth it. Personally, i don't like it, but that's just my $0.02.

BBK makes junk, dont buy it.

They are also full of crap if they think that a 78mm over a 75 is that big a jump to not recommend a 78 for a mild street car.

+1 A stock GT could handle a 78mm TB. That's why I think it is retarded to ever buy a 70mm, even stock a 75mm makes 1-2 more hp for the same price, plus you have more room to grow.

That 78mm combo TB/plenum, or for that matter a 75 mm TB, will add nothing to any n/a 4.6 2V, on a high boost f/i setup it might offer some benefit.[/align][/align]Here are some numbers to back that up...[/align]

BBK does not make Junk Intakes or strut tower bars! I like their products.. they are shineyy

But no seriousely, why would my intake and strut tower bar be garbage? Are you talking more like.. moving parts kind of stuff like.. clutch cables?
