Interesting TB gains in this months issue of MM&FF

[Greg Hazlett]

If you haven't seen the article they did a bolt on comparison of the Fox/SN95 New Edge/S197/Coyote's and one of the bolt on's was the BBK 62mm TB; if I am reading the graph on page 60 correctly the BBK 62MM gained 2 hp and 1 ft/tq....the parts were installed on bone stock cars.

I found the whole article to be a pretty good read. I did like the point where they had to correct the lean tune issue for the 3V by adding 8% more fuel to the tune... LOL

EDIT: Realized that I read the 'Bolt-on Battle' from the Oct. 2012 issue of 5.0

I did not pay attention to the Coyote bolt on's, what TB did they use?

Wonder if they meant 5.0's when describing the lean issue!!!!!

BBK 85mm. Less than 2.5 max HP for $400+.

Stock throttle bodies flow more than enough air for stock setups. Larger throttle bodies only help if you're moving a lot more air than stock.

Glad to see facts published.

Concur; it would be expensive but I would love to see a TB "shootout" on a FI setup.

Who was doing that tuning?

Edit: After further thought it was probably an error in what the author thought was happening to get the end result.

I agree... I would like to see a TB shootout on a SC car.... Very similar to the old Long tube article 5.0 did several years ago. People still reference that article.
