I put a BBK on my 01 and have had no problems.Older years use the plate adapter(?).
pedal feel like stock,better throttle response.Virtually no power increase.(1 rwhp
1-2rwtq)

01-Z did you have a ported TB on the car before you went to the BBK? I am thinking about getting a BBK throttle body and porting it.

save yourself the cash and go to thunder racing for the throttle body swap it costs you 100.00 bucks to get one that is cnc machined and ported! bbk is to expensive (same performance between the two)
