Default BBK 80MM on ls6

Is it me or do they cause a much louder sucking sound from the airlid? A friend loaned it to me whilst my TB is being ported. What kind of power difference has anyone actually seen between this BBK and a Shaner TB? It definitely feels like I picked up some HP. Then again, it's sat the last 3 weeks waiting on my tranny rebuild.

I would get the Shaner. It's less money and it's a quality piece. My friend had the BBK 80 MM on his vette and had nothing but trouble with it.

OH, meant to say mine is being done by Shaner. I was just wondering if anyone has compared the two since I'm driving around for the next week with this BBK. I started it cold (20degrees) this morning and it stalled twice and idled like crap. Sure hope it's that BBK.

Ive got the BBK on my car(temporary) and Its really Not that bad Ive got a cam in my car and when I first got it, it sucked ***. But if you adjust the idle screw just right it will never stall. I picked up like 16HP and 22TQ from it, the only thing I dont like is it streches the throttle cable out so the throttle is very touchy....You'll be happy with the Shaner for sure though...!!!!

Yea, I just popped that piece loose about 2 feet back in the throttle cable and had to adjust it as the throttle was about 1/10th open when I just installed the cable on it. I kind of thought it may have picked up some mad HP. I could buy it from my friend pretty cheap. It idles ok when warmed up.
