Default Bauer throttle bodies rule!

Got it in about a week...Easy to install, looks amazing.

Normally I run 13.0's @ 107-108 consistantly (I have about 20 runs of 13.0)

Tonite -- Run 12.86, then 12.91, then 12.89, then 12.94 -- @ 109.8

Going from 13.0 @ 108 to 12.8 @ 110 is amazing for the low cost.

I recommend this TB to anyone!

Thanks, Bret!

It wasn't really a gain you could feel really. But I guess I could kinda feel it on the top end...like 100+

Joe Prince once said on here he flowed a TB at over 1000cfm.

My claim is 900cfm.

Hopefully the new larger stock TB I'm working on for the FAST intake will flow close to 975cfm.

We have some LSX intakes on order and I hope to have a package price on the big stock TB and the LSX intake of $1000 (+ TB core) when they come out. I should have a big TB ready in about 2 weeks. That should be better than the 90mm FAST intake and TB price, and should be more than enough for Head/Cam cars. The 90mm guys shouldn't feel left out, i'm going to look those over too and see if there is any flow left in the big units too.

As for the track times, I've seen those results myself. Guy ran a 12.8 @ 110 and dropped to a 12.4 @ 112. Just from a TB. These things are a cheap mod that works on the track really well. For some reason chassis dynos don't like them. I have seen some MAF readings that show there is a huge improvement in airflow to the motor.

I can include instructions from the GM manual with the TB if you need them. Usually if you can take it off to send it to me then you can put it back on.

I can scan the instructions and send them out to you if need be.

do you need Autotap or anything like to tune it with after installation? Intall University mentioned this on their site, and i was just wondering because i read something about voltage being no more than 4.7 or something, and since i have no tuning equipment, i was just wondering if it set any codes. If not, this is definately gonna be my next mod! thanks alot guys

sorry, i tend to use that term a little loosely, i meant just to check codes, anyways, thanks for the info. Being on a low budget requires all the research i can get before buying a product.

Because you aren't moving perhaps?

Not sure why they don't like them, for some reason the track gains and the dyno gains don't add up. As a engine builder it baffels me too.

The TB's come with the WOT set at 90* so you don't have to check it with a auto tap if you don't want to. That's one of the advantages of the adjustable throttle stop.
