Re: BBK Dual 65mm Throttle body review

Thanks for your comments folks.
It has been raining here in Sunny (?) Florida for the past two days, so I have not had the opportunity to check the WOT relay. :LAUGH:
The engine is much more responsive, and previously I had absolutely no complaints with this motor. (FRPP Cobra D460 Crate Motor and trans)
It is running so smoothly, that if it weren't for the flowmasters, I would have to look at the tach to make sure it's running.
I did this excercise to improve MPG and throttle response, which it has done in spades.
Many folks seem to think that a TB on a Mach or 32V motor is a waste (not enough horsepower gain, etc.) but I can assure you, the grunt this thing has now rivals my old 5.0, and that thing was BUILT. (by me)
Mind you, my GT/Cobra/Shaker equipped car has 3.27 gears and a 5 speed.
A mach may do even better.
All I can say is, yes, this does indeed work.
There is some brain twisting to it, but overall, it's worth it.
Do not expect 10 or even 5 HP, but do expect some more low end grunt, which the 32V motor needs.
Just my 2 cents.
