Drill a tiny hole like 1/16 in the throttle plate and it will stop

Stop buying the garbage BBK sells is your first move. All of their throttle bodies do that.

Get an edelbrock. BBK copied their design but is not as well made a product. Or you can go accufab/holley but they aren't smog legal

my edelbrock t/b has a bbk stamp on it, from my understanding bbk makes the edelbrock t/b for them.

Vice versa. BBK paid edelbrock to use their design. Same way professional products is a cheap version of the rpm/rpm1

This is what I have heard.

1. Clean up the sharp edges where the Idle Air Bypass mounts up to the TB.

2) Drill a small hole in the blade.

drilling the hole will just raise the idle, but it works.
