bbk 65mm throttle body for $259. is that a good deal? and do u guys suggest getting one at all?

[El_Cangri]

good if you do a port and polish

it isnt gonna give u any h.p cuz ur changin the throttle body but not porting the intake to allow more air in..

its like..

i'm tired of giving my example (dont mean to be bad to you i dont feel like writing too much)

but the thing is.. u get a bigger t.b but it will not enter more air cause the intake cant enter more.. like let say the intake capacity is 10 cubic ft of air if you put a bigger t.b capable of supporting 20 cubic ft of air ur gonna still get 10 cubic ft of air cuz that what the intake fits..

(that isnt my example but hope u get it)

kinda.. and it still doesn't make a difference even if i'm gettin a bbk cai? thats the only reason i asked.. i'm ordering my cai and a friend suggested i get a throttle body also.

umm... i think your best bet is to either get a CAI of another member or off ebay... brandname CAI's are the same as no name CAI's... and as a matter of fact most of the items that you can find on ebay for cars are the exact same as the ones that you can get from a big name dude that just don't meet the exact specifications... but still are close to damn flawless...

my point being...

throttle body (only if you port and polish)
CAI (ebay or forum member)

oh i see.. if i get one off ebay should i change the filter or jus use the one it came with

[Onemanzu]

either or... the one it comes with is a cotton gause on just like the K&N or Cool Blue one that you would replace it with so it doesn't matter that much

[soop7]

ok.. thanks u jus saved me quite a bit of money. that bbk cai is $179.99.

[Onemanzu]

the ebay cai is $50

no prob man i almost did that too ... hope you enjoy it
