Default BBK installed

Installed a BBK 62mm Throttle Body. EASY install. took me like 25 min. BUT i am not feeling that much of a punch. They claim 15-20 HP on the BBK site. NO WAY. unless i need to do something to reset or tune it??

any help would be great.

thanks

Not even with a huge blower/turbo will you see that kind of HP w/ a TB. Headers yes, but not a TB. Maybe that's what you read about was headers.

A TB on a car that doesn't have EXTENSIVE mods or FI is useless.

You're best bet is to completely disregard almost all manufacturer's horsepower increase claims. They're usually BS.
