is a TB worth it with such little mods. (see sig.) 52mm BBK used TB. i am considering it because it is such a good deal. thanks for the feedback.

 

stick with the stocker
unless you have a good deal you feel isnt really worth passing up (good deal)

 

I'd say go ahead and get it and see what your car feels like with it on. If nothing else, since it's a really good deal you could save it for when you do more mods.

 

Are you planning on modding the car alot more in the future? If so, then grab it since its a good deal, and save it for when you need it. If not, then save your money since it's not going to help you out too much.

 

I vote no. I was VERY dissapointed with my BBK 52mm TB. Felt like the car ran worse to me. I'd rather spend more money and get a different brand.

 

I don't think brand really has much to do with performance. You will not notice a difference with just a bolt on car. You really need a cam to notice the difference, and even if you have a mild cam, you still may not max out the stocker.

 

i think it will help me out down the road when i decide to get a cam. sounds like it is worth it. thanks guys

 

I know what you are saying, but I have also heard other people complain with BBK TB's. When I had mine, there was a weird spot where the transmission didn't want to shift right. I took it off and had no more problems. With it off, I manually turned the TB switch and the holes didn't turn at first. I had to continue to make them go. I think the spring was screwed up or the blades were not adjusted right.

 

Stock TB will get you into the 10's.

 

An auto car needs a pcm tune in order to safely run a larger TB, without the tuning you can shorten tranny life.

 

yeah its makes the car shift wacky intell you get it tuned .. then u will see more power atleast 10rwhp IMO

 

This is straight from the magazine "Camaro Performers". The article is titled "LS1 Do's and Don'ts", but it should also apply to the lt1.

DON'T: Larger Throttle Body on a stock engine unless your ls1 is approacting the 600-horse mark, the stock throttle body should be just fine. Banish yaks day and night about the supercharged cars he tunes that breathe through the stock throttle body. Bill Strope says the same thing about the turbocharged cars that come through his shop.
