I got mine back from Bo White last week. I love it. The throttle response is so much better now.

I would be surprised if it even works.

The throttle plate seems really loose. Just need to know if this is normal.

Will check against my stock one.

Might send it in as a core on a VMAX

BBK SUCKS PERIOD
GO WITH BO WHITE OR VMAX. and GET THE WEDGE TOO

The bbk has to be installed into the throttle body motor first before you can judge the blade being too loose

Yes the motor and gear creates drag and will put resistance on blade movement by hand. Factory TB is the same way.
