What is it and where can we read up on it? Are you finding all this info at the diesel stop? I haven't been following that site. |

It is an after market throttle body with larger inlets to allow more air flow. You also get acrisper throttle response and inproved HP without affecting milage. An average increase of 8 to 12 HP. It is a simple bolt on and should only take about 20 mins. I used one on my 87 GN.  Just go to your search engine and punch in BBK Throttle Bodies and you should get over 330 sites.

I have it installed on my V10. It made a great difference on throttle response and I think horsepower. Cant prove it without a dyno test, but I feel it in the back of the seat. Ready set launch! Be careful if you have a lead foot.

I installed one 2 weeks ago. Love it. The wale is alive. HP? Don`t know, but you can feel it, and hear it.  As for mileage, if I stay out of it, my mileage actually went up 2 10th`s. Why, I don`t know. But if your going to play, your gonna pay. Mine leaps out of the hole. I got mine off of a guy at DieselStop for $250.00. He had it on his truck for 15 min`s, his wife took the truck and came back scared of it.
