Thumbs up BBK Intake Installed!
Finally got my new intake installed and it was a pain in the ***. Luckily I bought a Oil Sending Unit before the install because I broke the one that was on there. New intake looks good and no problems with idle! Will post pics tomorrow.

The bbk TB is nice. I had a problem with it sticking closed, just had to adjust the screw a turn or two so it was open slightly. Im putting a cam in it in a couple weeks. Ill post the numbers to see how my budget combo, BBK TB and intake and LPP headers do
