I don't know what an old timmer is. However, some might consider me an old timer.
Regardless, avoid the BBK piece of sh*t like the plague.

that's kind of overkill for a stock engine.. kind of a waste of money, what's wrong with your stock tb? If you need a tb I'd look for a used factory one in good condition.. they're pretty cheap..
