I installed or tried to install a BBK TB on Brians (TRY2PAZ)'s '99 supercharged red GT...The TB was made wrong...The throttle blade was put in upside down and backwards(un-fixable)....Brain had to send it back....BBK quality sucks!..

If you are going to change TB's I would recommend the Ford Racing 70mm..Good quality..part#M-9926-D462....Arent TB's only good for like 5hp, on a nat.asp. 97 4.6?..Do you have any suspension mods?

I have a BBK 70mm TB on my '94..the throttle return spring was A LOT stiffer than stock..(accel. pedal harder to push)

I hope I could help.

I'm not sure what suspension brands to buy. So far I only got sport lines. I want shocks, subframes, lower control arms, sway bars. Dunno wuts the best, and for the best price.

Get some decent shocks/struts to match your spring rates so your car doesnt bounce:(Tokico,Bilstiens & Koni)....Then I would stiffin up the car first with some full length sub frames: )Griggs, Global West or Maximum Motorsports)..Your next bang for buck would probably be rear lower control arms..:(Griggs, Global West or Maximum Motorsports)..You will have to decide what kinda racin you do if any when ordering suspension parts...Try to stay with the same brand when buying your suspension parts...

I think you will benefit more from any single suspension mod over a "throttle body".. [Smile]
....Remember horse power is only as good as you can put it to the ground.. [burnout]

Accufab has the best quality. See if they have one for your car...
