Default Bo White TB...

I know there are a ton of threads floating around but I must speak my mind...

This TB has to be THE biggest piece of....

GREAT TB man!!! It's a work of art!. I'm not sure how much I noticed WOT but overall throttle response has improved GREATLY. I especially noticed the difference low in OD when giving it gas to pass someone(not enough to downshift into third). It seems to have smoothed out the engine throughout the powerband too.

Awesome man!! Thanks again!!

I just sent mine in to Bo. Can't wait to see what difference it makes for me, considering how much these stock boys are loving the difference. I'll post pics when I get mine back from Bo.

Actually Bo I was gonna ask you the same thing about the gas mileage. I'll be filling her up this weekend, I'll let you know .

No, the swap was easy. Like I said in that other thread I'm used to working on thirdgens so I didn't want to be caught without the wrong tools.

BTW, I'll send out your package this weekend. I wanted to get this on quickly because you were so easy to deal with and helped me out.

Actually it was the day before yesterday yours will be ready soon.

She loves fast cars but has no desire on making them that way. I bought her a 89 IROC for a wedding gift and she had her *** handed to her by a modded 94 GT one day and a couple of days later she was driving a 95 GT and I was driving the IROC

If I was doin this full time I would do cores but at the moment I do not have the time to hunt down cores to replace the ones that people do not return to me. I work 50 hrs a week at my real job and do TBs and cylinder heads on the side so the grass gits tall sometimes
