it cracked on him?! damn, im leaning towards the bbk one cause fms ported it and everything and he gained 5 rwhp and i dont have to worry about shipping and stuff on it cause he is local. is the cracked throttle blade a common problem? how could that happen?
I bought a used BBK 80mm unit a couple of years ago. Out of the blue while driving ~30mph between stoplights my throttle died on me. Push it into a parking lot to find that the blade arm broke off. I don't recall which pieces I lost, but the rest are in one of my many spare parts boxes
I dont know if its a common problem. This guy i know started having idle problems, brought it to Geoff @ Thunder to get his tuning checked, and after tweaking it with no success Geoff took a look at the blade and saw it had a hairline crack. I know they did replace it for free with no problems.
