After doing my homework on the TB's myself...I also don't see how they can
get 780+CFM out of the stock V8 TB as well. (I think someone left the IAC
port open on the SuperFlow.) ;)

I talked to Dave again this morning, he's working on the TB today, and says
he may have found 2 to 3% more flow, so it may be a 15% increase by the time
he does my TB!
He'll be flow benching the TB again today to see what the REAL results are.

Stage I TB, 4.7L, in the next week or so. Dave says the stock unit flowed
398
cfm@ 10 inches and their Stage I unit flows 450 cfm@ 10 inches. This is a
flow increase of 12%. I have 2 options, I can send them my TB off the truck,
or I can buy a new TB ($220) ouch! If I send him my TB it will be very
inexspensive, since I sent him an intake manifold earlier for free. His
regular price for a customer supplied TB is $155.00
