Congrats...I had the same thoughts. I waited and ordered everything together to get it all done in one shot. Very excited about the TB I'm hoping that the 87mm I ordered will put a big smile on my face as well.

How did you decide between 85mm and 87mm? They both sound great.

Best way to decide is if you plan on running headers go with the 87mm if not the 85mm will be just fine. You can still run the 87mm without headers but won't get the full benefits of it

I am sure it will put a Big smile on your face like it did mine. :)

Noved: does the new TB require a new gasket or is one provided?

There was no Gasket with mine but when I took the stock TB off it did not have one either.

I can see why it doesn't need a gasket when I took my stock one off with 1500 miles the stock TB was pretty much spotless. There was a tiny little piece of carbon inside of it so I wiped it off but that was it. I plan on keeping all my stock parts just in case I have a dealer that is picky.

Moes, I placed an order for a TB and catch can on 03-04-13. Any idea when it will ship?

TB shipped on the 4th and is showing tomorrow for the delivery date. I just emailed the tracking number to you. We are waiting on the catch cans to come in from BT. They cant make these fast enough to keep up with the demand. We have 40 of these on order from them, and 13 have already been sold (including yours). I will be updating the Billet Tech thread in the Moe's forum as soon as they come in, and will also be emailing tracking info out to everyone that has pre ordered as well.

Thanks I appreciate it. I was just curious cause I had checked the website today and it said the order was still processing. Do you think I should wait to put the TB on until I have the catch can and can do them both at the same time?

You will be OK if you install the TB tomorrow. BT said they will be shipping the catch cans to us next week, so I'm hoping to have those shipped out by Friday.

Throttle body arrived today and I just finished installing it. Took me awhile to figure out how to remove the sensor from the throttle body but other than that everything went smooth. Very easy mod to do. I took the truck for a drive and WOW! My truck is much more responsive in the lower RPM's and I even barked the tires while not even trying to. Very happy with the TB! :)

Sometimes that connector can be tough to pop off. I usually just take a flat screwdriver, put it in the seam where it is connected, and then turn the screwdriver slightly while you pull on the other end of the connector. That always does the trick. I'm glad you are happy with the results.

Yeah I had to do some quick research on how to remove it. I have zero experience with doing work on a vehicle. Also, thanks for the fast shipping. If/When I need more fun stuff for my truck I will definitely order from you.
