Does anyone have any info on these TB's. Someone said they are not that good and they recommened accufab. Any truth to this? Anyone using BBK please let me know how you like it. Thanks

I am using a BBK 65mm TB and spacer, fairly good quality but seems to whistle a little.

mine doesn't whistle but part throttle modulation isn't the best. I would still recommend it though.

Two guys I know are running BBK's on their strokers, the only time I hear any whistle on their cars is if the engine is revved at idle/lower speeds and you're outside the car.

Nothing wrong with a BBK TB, I run a 70mm BBK.

I also have a BBK 70mm TB with no spacer with a Cobra intake. It works like a charm. No complaints!

I have a 70mm BBK and it wistles... but i kind of like it... bang for the buck they are definately a good product. Accufab's machining is nice one but there really cant be much of a performance difference between the two if any...

You'll see mixed reviews (good/bad) on everything but FRPP and Accufab if you search the threads.

Ford (FRP) comes with a new TPS and I believe a new IAC. That's enough incentive to push most guys into the Ford camp.

On the flip side, the 95-99 5.0 Explorers came with a 65 MM TB. A trip to the junkyard could net you one for less than $50. The linkage needs to be modded, but that's not hard. See http://www.veryuseful.com/mustang/tech/engine/ConvertingExplorer65mmTB.pdf for modifications to adapt the 65 MM Explorer TB to a Mustang
