I'm making 500rwhp with the stock TB. Unless you ever plan on going much higher than that, just toss the BBK.

i installed the bbk recently on my 07. The idle would continuously fluctuate. I ended up returning it and got a oem port and polished TB, Much better..

Ask AM if you can return the BBK TB or try and sell it on eBay or Craigslist. AM has excellent customer service and will do their very best to make things right or to make you a satisfied customer. I've learned from experience!! =-)
Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

So yesterday I finally got around to installing the cold air and tb. The same problem happened so i hooked up the tuner and pulled two codes. One was p2107 and p2104. I called AM and they said that most likely it is the TB and they're going to send me a new one. However after some of your guy's suggestions I asked if I could keep the old TB and install the CAI with my existing tune and they said that would be fine. So I went ahead and did that. Afterwards, I hopped in the car and it fired right up. No problems whatsoever. I immediately went for a drive and man what a difference it made! The exhaust now sounds lower and louder and i have more power almost everywhere on the RPM's. Now I'm eager to do my next mods!
Thanks for all your help
