ehm...you told me i was going to destroy my engine when i did the cam swap and the engine is still running.

btw i have been using the bo tb since i got the car. i sow a huge difference in the throttle response when i got it.

using the 87 oct force you ect cutting some spark advance even at low speed. using a better fuel and performing a fuse pool should reset you parameters and you can enjoy you tb mouch more

Your old TB is filthy! Mine at 13k was pristine!

I could tell a HUGE difference when I installed my PTB, but I also run premium fuel and a CAI.

Your throttle body looks dirty. Took mine off at approx. 46.5k miles and it was very clean. Had a slight film over the blade and that's it. Replaced it with the Bo White throttle body and haven't checked it yet. Was going to wait until I hit 10k miles on it then check it.

OP, this is from the owners manual about the octane to use.

If the vehicle has an L99 or LS3
V8 engine, use premium unleaded
gasoline meeting ASTM
specification D4814 with a posted
octane rating of 91 or higher.
Regular unleaded gasoline rated at
87 octane or higher can be used,
but acceleration and fuel economy
will be reduced, and an audible
knocking noise may be heard. If this
occurs, use a gasoline rated at
91 octane or higher as soon as
possible. Otherwise, the engine
could be damaged. If heavy
knocking is heard when using
gasoline with a 91 octane rating or
higher, the engine needs service.
