Is a bigger throttle body a bad thing?

energiesource · May 20th, 2007, 10:48 PM

I have a stock gt, well basically, and i was wondering if i should go with the accufab 70 or 75 mm

HMUSN · May 20th, 2007, 10:49 PM

70 if you plan to stay n/a man.

75 if you want to boost it.

energiesource · May 20th, 2007, 10:51 PM

well im eventually going to boost it, but if itll benefit me more right now with the 70 then i might just get that,

02StangGToWNEr · May 20th, 2007, 10:52 PM

From what I have heard & read, on a mildly modded car, they say to go with the 70mm, because you don't have the power to really take avantage of the 75mm, but if you plan on doing big things, then I don't think it would hurt to buy the 75mm now, that way you don't have to buy it later.

energiesource · May 20th, 2007, 10:54 PM

okay
uh..bbk or accufab?

02StangGToWNEr · May 20th, 2007, 10:56 PM

Most people go with accufab. As far as which ones better, I don't know.

GTsetGO · May 20th, 2007, 10:56 PM

i have seen where bbk tends to stick on the throttle. i would say accufab.

HMUSN · May 20th, 2007, 11:00 PM

def. accufab man

HickRocket1258 · May 20th, 2007, 11:52 PM

Dude definetly go with an aviator throttle body which is a direct bolton and is a 70mm from the factory. Can't beat a price of $88 or so.

I've heard the same thing about accufab.

I guess they're both good, but niether is perfect.

HMUSN · May 21st, 2007, 02:10 AM

accufab has proven the biggest HP gains. simple as that.

and from MY experiance they don't stick

oh... and ALL TB's are a direct bolt on

Yep this is very true...I ahve a BBK 75MM and it stuck one time...Then I took it home and did alittle at home remedy to it and it is all good now...

If money was no option I would have done accufab...

Smoothgrandmama · May 21st, 2007, 10:41 AM

But is this 400$ bolt on worth the 7-9 hp?

You could do cams for 500$ and gain 30.......

You ahve to factor the price of the cam install in there as well...It would be close to $1K (that includes cost of cams) if you dont do it yourself...And its not an easy install...

FOR POINT SIX · May 21st, 2007, 11:09 AM

If you have the $ go with accufab. But the BBK is a good too.

throwedoff · May 21st, 2007, 01:08 PM

Hit up Jerry at plenum1@sbcglobal.net he has real good prices on ported and polished TBs and plenums. I got a P&P MAC 70mm and a P&P ford plenum for $187 shipped from him.

His tb/plenum combos are dyno proven to make about the same power as accufab.

02steedagt · May 21st, 2007, 10:39 PM

70mm accufab for sure.
even if you're boosting, 70mm is plenty... Kenne Bell actually recommends the 70mm for their 6-9psi kit.
on its own, the tb/plenum upgrade will not help you that much, but when you put other new components on such as CAI, exhaust, cams etc... you will be able to make use of the bigger tb, and over all in a combination of things will give you awesome results. def worth it imo.

Thats weird. Ive had my BBK 75mm tb/plenum on for about 2 months now and never had a problem with it sticking or anything.

What remedy did you do though, I may do it before something happens.

What do you guys think about holley or ford racing throttle bodies?

I adjusted the butterfly and trimed the gasket...
