I don't have one yet but I think it's like any other throttle body setup the drivability is in the tuning

It's in the tuning. They're fine for the street.

4150 is streetable. I DD mine. If the tune is right then everything will be fine. Feels kinda sluggish at lower RPM's compared to a LSx style intake but it's not bad at all. No bucking etc. Mine is speed density tuned. I would reccomend an extreme velocity elbow for when the car sees street duty but take it off when u race it. It makes a huge difference in power.

Sounds like you have a progressive 4 barrel (in theory more streetable, since the first half of the throttle is only the primaries.

The Accufab/Fast TB are the best. I have a 4500 on my car and it is great and a 4150 on dads drives like a stock car.

It is not just put it on and the car is xx faster. You need to make the hood and airpan work with it.

They do work well when done right
