Default BBK 73mm throttle body

Just curious. Has anyone put this on their car yet? What performance can one expect. My current build is: Bama tune, C&L CAI, BBK Longtube headers with catted X pipe, magnaflow muffers, ford racing 3.73 gears.

Would I get anything noticeable in hp/tq gains from installing one?

on another forum they were saying someone should make an adapter for the 5.0 80mm throttle body , I liked the sound of that

Someone must of tried it out,, but there doesn't seem to be much posted anywhere?

There is a video on youtube that shows dyno results, looks promising

Hey dude, I put that on my 2012 also with a C&L CAI. I noticed more of a gain in torque than horsepower, but it is noticeable.

I wonder how it would do with a JLT or AirRaid.

yeah man, go to youtube and look for a C&L intake video. They dyno a stock '12 and then dyno it with the C&L intake. RWHP is around 270 after the intake is installed. I'm sure there is a stock dyno video somewhere on the interweb.

I have been pondering this as well. Then again who would be surprised if took 10 different 2012 3.7s and dyno'd them all and they all came up different? My guess is the 3.7 in the video was not putting out 305 at the crank.

Anyways a gain is a gain, right?

10 hp and 20 Ft/# for $400 so that is $40 per HP and $20 per ft/#

I think this video shows a before and after tuned dyno run, (actually 3 sets of data)

Stock RWHP 250.68 , RWT 225.47

Tuned RWHP 257.44 RWT 252.29
