Yeah, quality can be an issue. BBK's usually whistle at idle, drive you nut till you sand the machined lip off the throttle plate. Did a MAC one and it was surprisingly good.

Agree. I have a proffesional products and if I had to do over I would spend the extra money and go with the Accufab. ( still considering the change)

I had an Accufab and the plate screw fell off and my motor went for a **** . I've been using a P.P 70mm for a year now and no problem what so ever.Accufab is a real ****ty company to deal with, they cost me $1800.00 bucks Also the Accufab whissled like cazy, P.P no whissle.

Myroc above is the only Accufab complaint I've ever seen - most people claim the quality is the best; never heard anyone complain about the Ford Racing t/b - mine's been stellar. Hear complaints about all the other brands regularly.

Mike, does the Ford model come in 70mm for the fox or just 65mm?
Thanks,
Bernie

blah

no FMS only makes the 65MM not 70. I heard that its because they believe 65 is enough for any application/combination that they sell. But thats just what i heard

My professional product TB is working great now.I had to drill a hole in the butterfly to avoid the whisling.Had to grind the body a bit to let it open 100% at full throtle.It was opening at maybe 85%.

Fot the price,i dont complaint.

Yup - Ford only sells 65; on a 302 for the street, unless you're boosted, it's very rare that you'd be bottlenecked by the 65.

Same here. I've ran 3 different accufab tb's...70,75, race 90. Only tb's i'll ever purchase. About to buy another, a race 70.

I've heard of many BBK's breaking the blade shaft or dropping a blade screw.
