Default Screw BBK

You guys cannot even comprehend how PO'd that i am with the BBK SSI intake manifold...lol...i read all the storys from prior people that installed them and how they were a pain in that *** buti loved the look and i had a little more extra spending cashso i decided to get one... Installation was not a problem everything so far went a breeze but whoever packaged my kit up in the BBK factory must of been crossed eyed or half retarded...they sent me 2 passanger side fuel rails..and trying to explain this to the people that work there is like talking to a wall..then they sent me a driver side ff and it was not even the right one..it looked like it at first but then i came to relize that the serial number wasnt even right and it didnt have a hole cut for the fuel crossover....soin order to get my car back on the street a little sooner then if i had to what for a package togo from PA-CA idecided to drive to a mustang shop that deals with bbk about an hour from my place to get the correct ones....THEN the little blue anodize aluminum block that the FPR sits on was never cut for a o-ring so now today i can take that to a mechine shop and have them cut me out one....if one more thing doesnt not go right with that intake bbk can give me my 600 bucks back and tell them to go pound sand..

Had one ........... tried to warn you.

just wait till you start sucking TONS of oil thru the PCV systems
from their f*cked baffle design.

Get rid of that thing and cut your losses.

i hear alot of bad things about BBK. the S197 guys say their throttle bodies are like the worst thing you could ever spend your money on. not because its no big HP gain, but because it fuggs everything up completely.

I've heard bad things as well about their intakes, but I had a BBK throttle body on my old sixer with no problems. I also have a BBK CAI, U/D pullies, and ceramic coated headers on my 5.0 and they're all doing quite fine.
