Any one have the BBK fly by wire throttle body? if so is it a good buy?

 

Just get a shaner tb.http://www.s2performance.net/

 

Would be nice, but it seems as though they do not have any to just sell out to you without your core. That's too much down time IMO.
They don't make a larger mm TB over stock either. I always thought going with a larger mm TB over stock would be the most benificial. Of course as long as you have the mods to support it. How much gain does a ported O.E. TB even give you? Just trying to figure the money to performance ratio on this one.

We should know the answer to that question shortly. A moderator here (BlownChevy) sent me a DBW TB to port and he's going to dyno test it on a friend's stock truck. Once I get proven dyno results in my hands, we'll know for sure whether it's worth it for me to become a site sponsor or not on these truck throttle bodies.

 

I have the BBK 80MM on my raggety ride. The only problem I had was the blade sticking and causing me tuning issues. It was when I went to drill a hole in the blade to allow more airflow that I found the sticking issue. Had to close the hole back in.......

 

Did you notice any gains or have dyno results showing a gain from the BBK 80mm unit?

 

Yeah minor gains.. I went from 407 rwhp to 500 rwhp...

Of course I added it with the cam, heads, rockers, Injectors, and Pacesetter LT's...............

 

I was about to say! A BBK 80mm TB was almost on order!!!

i geuss this isnt that popular mod, also um im not sure which of u said it, but what do u mean by mods to mad a thrttle body worth while? What are these mods u speak of?

 

Spend the money on headers, stall, pulleys or something, I would port it myself if anything.
