Re: Bauer Racing TBs ???? I have one. Was a pretty smooth transaction, no unreasonable delays/hidden costs, he located the core for me and TB is great - it's got pretty much everything - stop-mode with adjustabel screw, port/polish and epoxy filled, and he even offered TB bypass kit, but I already had one.

I'm testing a Bauer ported TB on my C5. No problems. It was his first C5 and he wanted some test miles on it before he sold them.
Hey, I even got a free installation.
I haven't done any performance numbers. We're doing mostly driveability testing.

So yes, you can do all of that for under $400.
As far as numbers go, I would say that the mods on your car have alot to do with it. I don't quote numbers because every car/dyno/mods have different results. A F-body/truck will most likely see 5-10 rwhp. That's just a guess. I am much more concerned about cfm and the cfm gain is around 20+%

Obviously after you do alot of mods tuning will maximize what you have. The stock system can handle the extra air the TB is giving you.

Re: Bauer Racing TBs ???? I bought their powder coated and ported TB plus a set of their powder coated MAF ends and installed them the same time as my cam and headers. These are top quality pieces with great workmanship. I would reccomend to all.

Re: Bauer Racing TBs ???? Just got back from the dyno today. While I was there flow bench tested another throttle body.
The results are 825cfm @ 20" of H2O.
That is on a throttle body going out the door to a customer. So the new tricks I have employed have worked. I have a few more ideas to get even more flow out of the 75mm plate.
20" is the level that carbs are flowed at so that's the level I corrected it back too.
(BTW 28" of H20 is what cylinder heads are done at just for you non tech guys)

Re: Bauer Racing TBs ???? I just ordered a new TB and am having it shipped directly to Bret. So far he is a pleasure to deal with. Can't wait to get the ported throttle body in and installed.
