JRP TB Testing
Since you're planning on testing a stock, Cammin BeaSST, and Bo White tbs I was wondering if you plan on testing any others? I'd be interested in your results for any of the Shaner throttle bodies as well.

only ones i have in my possession are the 3 i listed. when im ready if anybody wants to donate a TB for me to test i'll do that as well. honestly i dont think its that big of a deal, TB's arent like heads or cam. there's only so much you can do. i still had my stock TB and i bought the cammin beasst w/ no core. Bo sent me one of his to test out to drum up some business and data. what i think the test will prove is that a ~125 TB will be just as good as a 200+ ported TB

Keep us informed JRP. I have done the tests myself. They all make 5 to 8 rwhp. The gain is so small some of the power could be attributed to cool downs/efficiency etc etc....
Like you said 75 bucks to 200 bucks they all do basically the same thing. Some are "cuter" than others though

You say that you think your test will prove that a ~125 will be just as good as a ~200 one, but wouldn't you have to test a 200+ for that? I'm just asking, I realize it'd be dumb for you to test all of them yourself cuase it'd cost to much money to get them together. My Thought was that some people could perhaps donate their TB for some testing by a independent person, such as yourself.
Cammin, if you've done some testing, I'd be interested in the results. Have you done any actual testing as to how much air your TB flows as compared to stock?

like i said, a TB isnt like a set of heads where one ported one can vastly be different from another set. yes i'd have to test a 200+ TB to find out if its indeed better then say a shaner, bauer, mti, fast, ect. but i have a hard to believing much difference. i've seen enough general TB data to deduce that they all gain 5 - 11rwhp depending on setup. the extra espense comes from the polishing, poweder coating, and the name.
the plan is to dyno test the 3 TB's as well as have them flowed on steves sf-1020 bench if he can build the adapter plate.

TB pricing varies with "bling" Theyre all ported/polished. Some guys powdercoat, some polish shafts etc etc.TBs such as mine and Bo s' are more for function. To me quick turn around and overall performance are the most important factors.

I agree with Cammin Beasst because that is the reason I contacted jrp for the testing in the first place because I knew he had a nicely done filled TB and his original and his car was down. There is only so much you can do with a TB that jrp is right about the overall outcome of the testing would be so close that the consistency of the dyno itself and thermal temp differences would go into play. I believe Cammins filled TB represents as good of a filled TB thats out there, which there is a lot that are good, and I believe that the test he conducts will be what would be the outcome of anyones filled/unfilled TB thats available. Time will tell.

I think this is gonna be a good test. I'll be interested to see how the filled vs unfilled turns out. I won't be doing tb's much anymore, due to my twin girls being born so its a moot point for me. Bo and Ron(Cammin Beast) both do great work, so it'll really be a battle of the best. Can't wait to see some results!!
