Question Professional Products TB?
I have a BBK intake and want to get a new TB. Looking at the Professional Products 80 or 85mm TB. Anybody have any experience with these on the BBK? Thanks

the 85 should work...it comes with a reducer plate for the stock manifold. but i'm not sure you'd even need it. hopefully some1 that has tried it will chime in.

The 85 is what I'm looking at. I have a ported/polished Shaner but want to change to something different plus the professional products is polished. Thanks

Just broke down and ordered the 85mm so I should have it this week. If it works like it should I will have a Shaner S3 TB for sale that is powder coated Black. Thanks

I'm not giving another DIME to PP. Cheap fukin junk, IMO. Their rails are teh SUCK! Garbage fuking **** I never shoulda bought, but speed inc likes to send those out as their "house rail system." I'm not buying from Si anymore because of that. It doesn't bode well for their business.

I'd get a Shaner if it was me.

Not to thread hijack, but where did you get that EGR blockoff plate from?
