Some before/after pics on my TB I just received back from Bret - looked very nicely done IMO. Put it on and fired it up, no probs/codes whatsoever - hope it helps get me into some low 12 second passes this year...thanks Bret! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

That is killer looking. How much are they? I think it'd help out my 427 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

$140 for porting/polishing. You can get powdercoating for extra $$$ - for more info, his link is over there on the right <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Looks killer! I especially like the attention to detail like counter-sinking the screws holding the bade on <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I think thats the one my customer had on his car, I flow benched it to make sure it was matched to the package we built for him and I came up with some obsene flow number like 1000 cfm's + . Have fun with yours Bill <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> .

JPR, so you actually flow tested my TB? Cool! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

And I started having fun with it again today - it's been in winter storage so I haven't been behind the wheel since last November! So after putting the TB back on, I just couldn't resist taking it for a spin and get re-aquainted all over again! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Fenris Ulf, here's another neat little attention to detail - the adjustable bump stop Bret also adds to the package!

LOL! no, I didn't flow bench yours, but one that looked detail for detail identical to the ones in your posted pix.

*L*...same difference then I guess!

My car is a *daily* driver, so I can't be without my TB for even a few days...but I'm on the waiting list to buy the core from Bauer so I can do the switch & then send him my core afterwards. You guys posting these pics make me sick!!!! I want my Bauer TB!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
looks awesome!

Cool pics! Very satisfied with my Bauer throttle body as well!

Bret, in resting position should the butterfly be open just a little bit. I have your TB and was told i need to adjust it so the butterfly is open a little. The screw does not seem to allow for that however.

Really nice blend and taper job using the filler! Although 1000 cfm would satisfy most, I've wondered if the lower (inside edge when closed) leading edge ONLY of the open throttle plate would lend itself to some "sharpening"? Might it create unequal turbulance or idle problems when plate is closed? Anyway, GREAT job!!! <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

Thanks for the comments guys.

Makes you wonder why a $700+ TPIS Oval TB is needed? 1000cfm for $140 vs 1200cfm for $700? Even I'll admit that 1000cfm is overkill. You would need well over 700hp at the flywheel to need 1200cfm. Not advertising here, just $/hp ratio gets a little out of hand when you are talking about a $700 TB. A oval hole is REALLY hard to bore, yeah but I still don't get that.

The wait list is my set back right now, I could use more cores definately. Hopefully we can get one to you soon Shane.

I am super happy with mine, I sent mine to Bret to re-do, someone else did it and ruined it. Wow, it was a night and day difference, I would post pics if I could, but thanks Bret. My idle went up little, besides that, it's perfect.

Bret I have a TB I want done. Do you have a number or should I just e-mail you?

Hey Bauer I already did the bumpstop mod and started to remove the ridge but I stopped before I f#*ked something up. You can barely tell I did anything to it. Would you still accept my TB or do I need a new untouched one? Steve

that looks killer! I definately want to get mine done! just out of curiousity how much hp is this good for on a lightly modded car?
