Re: BBK Dual 65mm Throttle body review

Latest update:
I did a gas mileage run around town during the past week, no AC, short shifting, etc, and here are the results:
200.3 miles
9.368 gallons of Shell Premium
MPG = 21.38

Not too bad. I figure the TB was worth 1 MPG, as I was getting exactly 20 MPG before the Dual 65mm Throttle body was installed.
I also went to Tampa on a trip.
Averaged 26 MPG highway w/ Cruise, but I did drive around Tampa in the city for an hour or so with the AC on. I am guessing 28 highway, a little short of the goal, but I am not finished yet.
If I do a pure highway run, Ill post the numbers in case there is any interest.
