Throttle Body Questions ASAP!!!!!

I want to go with a BBK SSI and 85mm throttle body. The questions I have are...

- Will I need any separate wiring to make the change from stock?
- If the throttle body fits a 98-04 F-body will it fit in my 97 C5?
- What can I honestly expect for gains with headers and CAI only?

Thanks guys

if I had to take a guess i would say about 12-15 RWHP gains from just the adding heads. hope that helps some

Depending on the headers/CAI chosen, I would reasonably expect somewhere in the 20-25hp gain over stock.

Thanks guys for all the help. I had one of my vacuum lines pop off and lost control of my a/c. Thats just not fun in South Texas so I figured I would upgrade while I was at it.
