It will work with any kit, my opinion of the TB is it will not gain you much, and a lot of times it can give you issues with sticking

No, It won't Jim.... sell it to me at 1/2 what you paid for it instead...... It's the right thing to do......:D

IIRC you'll need to do a tune after the install for best performance.

I read this somewhere here before..

Dennis has obviously seen more TB's than I have, Jim. But mine's been on longer than you've known me and I've had absolutely zero problems with it. It won't gain much, but it will provide a quicker throttle blip SC or not. I think any gains at all are only really seen when the air REALLY starts flowing as in an SC. I also think it helps 'flatten the curve' on the dyno graph giving a more even response all the way across the power band taking away any weird bumps or dips in the graph due to a smoother and more predictable air flow.

After probly 10-12 rides on the dyno, those are my thoughts....

I never have and I really don't believe it. Hold an Accufab next to stock and tell me which one you think is more apt to stick...

I have a BBK on my KB Car and it sticks all the time.
(The idle wont drop below 1300rpms)

Maybe it's a brand issue. I truly can't see how the Accufab COULD stick.

Try a stronger or if possible tighten the return spring.

There is a version of theAccufab that starts to stick after some usage... it has to do with the wearing of the "bushing"where the shaft rotates on.. the Billetflow one seems to be the best... Although I don't know if Accufab redesigned/fix the issue..

Must have. Mine came from the same GB Jim got his on. I installed it about 2 years and 40K miles ago and have had a TB spacer on and off the car and have gone from NA to SC and have had no issues. I took it off and inspected and cleaned it (didn't need much) after about 35-37K when I did the SC (late last year) and everything worked smooth as glass with no wobbles or wear indicated at all. I honestly don't believe Jim will have any stickage issues at all with his particular TB.
