I have it, It is a $400 dollar piece of loud *** hissing crap! Didn't see any gains for $400 dollars. Just get a port and polish job on the stock one.

if you really expect any type of great gains from a ported TB you're crazy. there is a small gain to be had there but it's just not an area of insane improvment. mostly just doing the bump stop grinding and knifing the blade are the best things to do. Does the BBK come with a knifed blace and a 100% opening blade?
