Throttle Body Tests on 2010 GT500

Thought this was an interesting read. These throttle bodies were tested on a 2.9L whipple.

Here is a quote from Fordgt500forum.com from BJ (Very knowledgeable racer) about aftermarket throttle bodies.

"Short version: Use an L&M on a stock tuned car and you're GENERALLY alright. Use one on a tuned car and you're not. You'll need to have it tuned and it's less than easy to make it run right. It can be done, it's just not easy.

Remember....the TB will not solve issues with not enough fuel flow, but exacerbate it.

I was talking with Justin the other day regarding the use of larger injectors vs a Boost A Pump. The factory injectors will deliver what you need, so the BAP is a better idea. The larger injectors for a 700hp car merely uses more fuel. You don't need them. The BAP will run things quickly enough to keep you rich enough and do so on demand rather than full time (like running bigger injectors)"

So are most guys running the VMP throttle body after being pullied with intake on stock blowers?

I hear the next mod in Davids future...

Nah, probably tires and a new heat exchanger first. I will be doing bling before those though.

Bling?

Stripes, exterior and interior mods.

Yeah no shit. That's definitely going on before the kicker show.
