bbk or accufab or trickflow?

YeloPony · November 3rd, 2009, 12:01 AM

looking for a 70mm TB + Plenum..

Accufab kit is $420, bbk doesn't have a 70mm combo so I'd have to buy each seperatly around $400 again.. (I don't want the 78mm)

Trickflow has a kit on summit for $250..

Trick Flow Specialties TFS-K51824070 - Trick Flow® Upper Plenum and Throttle Body Combos - Overview - SummitRacing.com

So is there any one brand with known problems or better performace?
I plan on putting in the spacer too.. .

oh yeah I have 01 GT, 4.6L 2V

Scott2001GT · November 3rd, 2009, 12:04 AM

all good products. I was going to go with trickflow b/c of price.
If you can afford accufab thats good.
You buying the spacer for a paper wieght?

bigolst · November 3rd, 2009, 12:29 AM

if you just have bolt-ons i would go with trick flow cause i can't see spending $200 for 2-3 hp thats just me though

I love my accufab tb+plenum combo, looks very nice and really increased throttle response

Pittbull · November 3rd, 2009, 01:40 AM

Wats wrong wit the spacer scott? I have a 1 inch spacer on mine... :-/

RyanGT · November 3rd, 2009, 01:53 AM

Doesn't give any gains. It is myth brought over by the carburetor days. Think about it, what good would adding an inch space between tb and plenum? Does adding more length before the tb help? hehe

RyanGT · November 3rd, 2009, 01:54 AM

And to the OP:

I loved my plenum/tb combo from accufab. Even when i supercharged i stuck with accufab (went from 70mm to 75mm then finally to big oval). I actually have 75mm for sale... but no plenum to go with it.

Pittbull · November 3rd, 2009, 01:57 AM

It's a inch space from the plenum and intake manifold... Not the plenum and throttle body..

dannyboy281 · November 3rd, 2009, 02:11 AM

Accufab if you want to spend the cash on it if not TF....dont waste money on the spacer use it towards paying for some gears either 3.73's, 3.90's, 4.10's, or 4.30's if your auto

Pittbull · November 3rd, 2009, 02:16 AM

Ha it was only like 30 bucks :p

dannyboy281 · November 3rd, 2009, 02:23 AM

^ i think you will get more rwhp with one of these then that

turbot4 · November 3rd, 2009, 08:19 AM

why pay for the name when you can pay half that for the professional products set up.....
it's working for me..

Pittbull · November 3rd, 2009, 10:13 AM

Ha watever Danny

JayC · November 3rd, 2009, 10:40 AM

This is the only spacer that will make a difference........

YeloPony · November 3rd, 2009, 10:51 AM

Thanks guys.. the steeda spacer was $69 wasn't sure about it.. thanks for the input.. looks like trckflow is the way to go..

Yeah 4:10s next month, I'm gonna throw on some bolt ons this month to get the most out of the tune I'll need after the gears are in.. tb+plenum, maybe pulleys,

Anyone paint their plenum? The trickflow is plain, I'm thinking of spaying it yellow to match the car.

bigolst · November 3rd, 2009, 11:52 AM

fyi the trickflow plenum does have a built in spacer. and i thing a plenum painted yellow would look tacky

Pittbull · November 3rd, 2009, 11:52 AM

Tha spacer can't hurt tho so watev ha.
I think thatd look real good if u painted it yellow, maybe get some yellow hose covers too that'd b badass

Scott2001GT · November 3rd, 2009, 12:33 PM

a spacer is suppose to add turbulance* to the air to get a better air/fuel mixture. But its that effective

When carbs were around it mixed up the air anf fuel more for the turbulance* which was a more effeciant* combustion.

TwirtleNutZ270 · November 3rd, 2009, 12:39 PM

Turbulance you say...isn't that something that happens in an airplane???
