i can get a bbk 58mm TB for real cheap. My only big mods i guess you can say is LT's dumped before axle and nitrous. Now should i buy it or not. I can get it for $150 and its next to new. What u guys think, buy it or no??????

Its going to give you about 3-5 hp.
If you didnt have LT's, I would only recommend a 52MM.

Unless your puttin out 300HP to the wheel, a TB isnt that important.
Not to rain on your parade.
I had a 58MM, and sold to make some $, then I had my bro custom port mine to 52MM.

It's a good mod and try and get it for cheap, but TB's aren't worth much over 150 IMO.
If you plan on getting more go-fast parts, its certainley not a bad mod.
But I would recommend an intake or exhaust before a TB.

Buy it cheap, sell it for more, buy a 52mm and pocket the cash.

How about if you add a 150 shot of nitrous, would a 58mm be good then?
