More Goodies
Finally got my car all back to normal after I slid into a curb in the snow, so I decided it was time for more upgrades 
Ordered a new throttle body from american muscle and some side scoops. Hopefully in the next day or 2 it will be a new car part day

Why a new Throttle Body?
Was your OEM one defective?
Search BBK TB and see why I am asking...
$$ down the drain...
But she is looking sweet with the exterior mods done.
TBs add NO power gains or improved Throttle Response
despite what the guy selling them (Dan) has to say...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Only a dyno tune can do those things.

parts came today put the tb on and even if it dosent do anything its already on and im too lazy to take it back off haha i still have the stock one if it causes problems. I have to get the side scoops painted first so hopefully i can do that sometime next week and get them put on haha
as for why i bought it, i assumed that it would make a difference and thought it would go good with the cai i put on

People seem to have their minds made up that the new larger TB doesn't produce any power. I bought one too, just like I did a CAI, which doesn't do a thing either according to the naysayers. I found the CAI improved throttle response, and the TB does exactly what the BBK video claims, produce more power (30 ft lbs of torque) below 4k rpms. Exactly where the 3.7L v6 could really use it. The difference isn't huge, but is noticeable. Good luck.

Better keep the old OEM TB in the trunk and the tools needed to re-install it
as that BBK is known to leave people stranded on the side of the road
at the worst possible moment.
I like HP increases but not if it causes reliability problems as well...

I took her out today, I definitely noticed a difference. I'm not sure if it was a $400 difference, but it was noticeable. I'm happy with it
