From what I understand, it is a waste of money. On a stock intake you have to use an adapter because the hole behind it is only as big as a ported stock TB. Just something to think about.

Unless you modify your intake to have a 80 mm opening

Then all you have to worry about is broken throttle shafts on the BBK. They have some good pics on here of that happening. Besides...you would have to get real real close to that gasket to port it out wouldn't you?
