Default Need some throttlebody help

So I sold my bbk throttle body and intake to my mom as my supercharger is comming in later this week but now I think i have a issue.

In the interest of saving time I kept all my sensors and drive assembly on the BBK and installed in her car, works great.

i took her stock body and put on my car. Now I notice when I step on the gas or like if I'm rolling then get on it, its like theres no power then it jumps up like I am taping on the throttle. Just wondering if you guys have any ideas. Right now I have her Mass air, TPS, and the drive assembly on my car. Also have a tune on it from before still, so i was thinking it might be that, but I rembered her saying last night I cant belive how smooth it is now (hers) so asked about how mine feels now and she thinks thats how hers felt....

yeah, I bought my 08 GT, later that week she got a 09 Bulitt.......... I'm getting the last laugh with the saleen stage 3 tommorow.... i think it might have just been the tune, I had the Bama race tune on it, and he made it for the mods I had. Just put the 93 performane tune back on that came with the predator, after checking smooth operation from my TPS and it ran alot better on the second pass.

Sensore are universal they don't belong to a specific car, I'ld look for an air leak or maybe a slit in the T/B gasket, is it torqued properly??

Is the TB dirty? Maybe try disconnecting the battery to reset the PCM.

well drove it around a bit, I knew the sensors were the same or else I wouldnt have done it... and like I said before, after the reflash to a canned tune its running alot better.

TPS Voltage would be my guess. Try matching the Voltage from the BBK unit you gave to your mom to her TB. Procedure should be in your BBK documentation, hopefully the stock unit is adjustable as well.
