Sponcers any date? I am currently collecting parts for the winter build up, headers, kmember,intake,new TB, 918s, tit retainers,prods, and tsp y pipe,upper/lower arms, I am leaving the intake for last, I like the aluminum piece and with No2 it should be really good. The no2 should rid the heat soak problem, if you guys are that worried about heat, get one of those intake chillers, they just started making electric ones that can be left on all the time. I can't remember where I saw that(i'll find it)but it exists.

Ok I got through to a BBK Rep. 85mm is a misprint, it's an 80mm opening for the current BBK throttle body. There will NOT be an 85mm and an 80mm. Guy I talked to said they should ship out by the end of the month. By the way I got transferred about 5 times so If you call for yourself good luck!!!

So what you're saying is that the opening on the manifold will only be 80mm and mate up to there 80mm throttle body? well darn, I was really hoping for the 85mm TB and manifold. I am still waiting to see some results on this intake before I give up and go with a ls6. I have emailed SDPC again and am awaiting a response, I'm thinking they are gonna say the same things you guys have said. Prolly the end of this month and on to the beginning of the next.

Yup, that's what I was told. They said they aren't going to make a new batch of 85mm throttle bodies. I asked him why they didn't update their site. It would take all of 2 minutes. He said I don't know that's the web department
I almost hung up on him at that point. I don't know how BBK stays in business...

they really need more competition for the intake market for the average consumer, not the guy that has hundreds of dollars layin around to spend on whatever....
It seems like they dont really care since I know they tested it on 2 different cars this summer.
