Default After market Throttle bodies

Does anyone have any experience with the BBK 80mm TB or the the modified GM 1030 CFM TB? I can't afford to super charge, but would like a bit more. My thought was a higher flow TB and headers to go with the Granatelli intake and A&A exhaust that I already have.

I would really appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks...

I had a BBK and could not make it work. Sent it back to BBK they fiddled with it and it still would not idle even with tune so it went to Ebay.

90mm TPIS here - love it, but then the car was tuned too. Yes I have TPIS long tubes and random Tech high flow cats, x-pipe and GHL exhaust.

Some times a great dyno tune can do more for a car then all the bolt ons combined.

I don't think you'll see any improvement with a new TB by itself.

If you're not going to make major internal engine changes or add a blower, some of the best money spent would be with a good tuner/dyno test to get the most out of what you already have.
