Default Fast 4150 or Accufab 4150

I'm going with a Super Victor and a 4150 TB.
What is everyone running, a Fast or Accufab. Or what.
Is there much difference in the two, power wise, cfm, ect.
Thanks again

Take your pick, here's the advertised info:

http://www.accufabracing.com/throttle_bodies.htm


The fast one looks like it flows more air, but most people I know use the accufab with GM stuff just because it is setup for the GM sensors.

Would you make more power with the fast? Have to try it to see. Wilson also has a very nice piece that I have never read a single bad thing about.

I'm fairly certain Accufab makes the square flange T/B's for F.A.S.T.

If your going with a super vic why a 4150 and not a 4500? I have used Accufab on many cars including mine right now and have never had a problem with any of them.

That very well could be the case. Alot of parts are done that way. Change one little thing, or maybe nothing other then the engraving on it and they're the same.


By the advertised prints, the Fast I found was listed as being set up for ford sensors, accufab was set up for the GM ones. Both may also be offered with either sensor combo though... have to call and find out on that.

I have the fast and I love it. Uses GM sensors, but the tps is a lt1 style. And it it has an adapter harness for other aps.

Not sure how well it works, but Accel makes a 1550cfm TB that says uses GM sensors also.

x2 Usually you can find a better price on the Fast.

Do I need a 4500?
I was going with a Vic Jr but someone told me that the Super Vic was a much better intake. And said that the 4150 would be fine.

Accufab makes F.A.S.T and Ford Racing stuff and just re brands for them. So no matter what one you get I really don't think it will matter much. The nice thing about going direct is dealing with who makes it. Sometimes if you have a issue it can get resolved much faster and easier.

Yup. FAST 4150 here as well - same as the accufab but with the fast logo. You won't have any issues with the sensors. Supervic here as well - 4150 flows what i need

4500 is a bigger flange than 4150. Super Vic accepts both, vic jr. only does 4150.

Let me know how the Super vic and 4150 works out.
Do you have any new track times?

Sadly no, and it's not looking like it will happen this year - a lot of other stuff going on and a nice case of pertussis.

Pretty sure a 4500 requires an adapter flange to a super vic, or I would have gotten one.
