IMHO it's not worth it.

If I were to buy a TB I'd get the FRPP one. But only to go with other mods I had done.

I got my Bullitt used, came with a bbk tb. I don't like it because there's a few different sized screws/bolts and it made taking it off a pita.

I got my BBK for cheap so I think it was worth it. I know there have been some guys that have had problems with theirs but mine has always worked well. If you get it, ensure that you follow the instructions on install, using the volt meter etc. Throttle response was the only big difference I noticed. Good luck

And did it make a huge difference on the car and did you tune it

Honestly I'm gonna say no HP gain... your stock throttle body already outflows your stock engine... all your gonna get is a snappier throttle

It looks cool. Makes a whistle sometimes and if you plan on boost its worth it. If your not gonna mod for boost then keep the gun
