Whatever happened to that long thread about TB sizes and flow?

Does anyone have a link to that 15pg thread. I know I there was one, unless I was halucinating.

this one.

95Vert · May 2, 2007

Nope. This was a thread that was, if I'm not mistaken, 15+pages long. Everyone got involved and was very informative. I don't know if I'm confusing it with another, but I don't think so.

What did I do? I just tried to find a long TB thread. I saw all the numbers that David put in the opening post and thought that might be a good one.

That said, I often don't get wrapped up in the theoretical threads, nor do I even read most of them.

Heck Fire JT

Thinking outside the box is fun

besides

We need more help to go from theory to fact

You could make a very significant contribution to those threads

and lastly but most importantly

94-95 :SNSign: is one of those rare places if not the ONLY place where

One can submit something or ask something that is different from mainstream
thinking and not get flamed or made fun of which clearly shows quality
peeps hang here

See ... Here is what you don't know about Texans

They be a lazy bunch of folk when it comes to talkin

Since that applies to me and my speech
then
Its just naturally gonna be so ... when I type stuff

Why would I wanna go to the trouble to type E N G I N E
when
I can type M O T O R which has 1 less letter
and
Everybody knows what I'm a talkin about anyway

Then ... You got the fact that I'm an Old Man
and
I got to be a bit weird cause ...................................... its expected

I could potentially send you my FMS 65mm TB, which isn't much better than stock as far as cfm flow though and I believe you have that already.

But if anything I could take it off my car and send it your way...

I'd prefer you get a 65 of a better flowing brand though

hollywoodstang · May 5, 2007

oh darn

I settled with 65mm FMS. anything else would be an over kill for me. i was thinking about going bbk or edel. but i liked the fact that it came with all new sensors. what do you guys think should i take it out and put a better flowing one? for my set up? and how much flow difference am i gonna have?

Can't believe we are doing this again....

5spd GT · May 5, 2007

Hollywood - Your throttle body looks fine for the cfm your engine can take in. Killercanary on here was running 112.51mph in a 3600lb (maybe a bit less) on a h/c/i car, looks like it wasn't holding it back He was running the FMS 65mm TB.

What I was saying to Sage was that I would rather him compare 65-70-75 of the same brand, and not 65 (FMS), and 70-75 of an Accufab. It would't be a consistent comparison...

The 65mm from Accufab flows more than the 65mm from FMS...but most of the time the FMS unit will work...as killercanary show.

sage2k · May 5, 2007

I'd compare anything someone is willing to send me...so far nobody has offered to send me anything really...I do have a bbk75 so idealy if someone has a bbk 70 and bbk 65 i could compare the same brand
i'm willing to do a total of 3 dyno runs, otherwise it would cost too much money

95Vert · May 10, 2007

Well guys, due to some VERY reliable sources whom have done extensive experimentation with TBs, they've concluded that in this case, bigger IS better. So I'm going with the 75mm TB.

Thanks

5spd GT · May 10, 2007

Do you mind expanding on your sources and letting us know? Did they do comparisons between each throttle body? Let us know

Good Luck, the 75mm will be just fine.
