Ok so I want to change out my throttle body and I ran across a used Gt500 60mm twin throttle body used for only 15,000 miles for sale for $100. Apparently it comes with a BBK adaptor plate to transfer to my gt. so what I wanna know is, is it worth it? Is there anything I must look at before buying? Is there much of a power difference? Or should I put more money toward an aftermarket throttle body? FYI, I am running magnaflow exhaust, x-pipe no cats, kooks long tube headers, C&L 95 mm intake.... Has anybody ran one of these on there gt? Any advise would be appreciated.....

 

Had it and didn't like it... I couldn't fit my frpp cai on to the mouth even with the adapter ... you need a big mouth cai like a jlt but even then if you but the frpp manifold in the future it will push everything forward because of the plate...

I eventually had to rig the frpp cai and place a breather on the pcv tube buy the valve cover ... so I bought the frpp 65mm tb and the jlt carbon fiber 110mm cai and it worked much better... as far as performance goes I couldn't tell differences because I did everything all at once... in my opinion i would save money and drop it into a low boost supercharger ... only because I hears anything over 450rwhp will require forged internals ...

 

Thanks for the info passed on the deal..

 

No problem man... you can put it someplace else for your car... one thing I learned is not to cut corners and for a ton of research and to be patient because you will eventually find something you want on sale or whatever ...

 

Good idea to pass on it... until you have a boosted ride, the stock TB is more than enough.
