Well, I got my 70mm Accufab TB kit today by popularity votes of this site and the first thing I noticed is the great shine, but afterwards I started to wonder if this is the only reason I forked out the extra dough for this thing. The second thing I noticed is that it didn't come with a new TPS sensor, most others do, it's not a big deal but it's one more thing I have to do (switching over the old one). Third thing is I noticed the butterfly wouldn't open all the way, not to where it was perpendicular with the sides anyhow. So I had to do a little grinding on the bottom of the shackle (or whatever you would call it) where the throttle cable connects to it. Other than that it looks great and matches very well looking down through the Performer intake.

The only TB I know of that comes with a TPS is the FMS 65mm, so most other brands actually do not come with one. The fact that the throttle linkage hit the housing is wierd, though.

I'm pretty sure BBK/Edelbrock's come with new TPS sensors, the FMS is the only one that comes with a new IAC valve, I was goina get that but the guy said they quite making them, probably could have found one somewhere but the 70mm matches up nice.

You're right, I just looked at my most recent Summit and they all have sensors.

Trust me when I say that Accufab make great throttle bodies. The metals used for the throttle body and the blade must be compatable. FMS also makes a great throttle body but it just doesn't look as nice and is only available in 65 mm. Beware of cheaper throttle bodies. It's not fun having you car get stuck at WOT because the blade binds.
