I've been testing Bruce's all Billet 69mm TB on my 4.7L for about 4 weeks
now and I'd like to report my findings so far. I have still yet to run the
dyno again, however I'm still trying to contact the local "dyno guy" , I
hope he hasn't gone out of business???
I have made 3 passes at the strip with it, but the conditions were less
than ideal, and all I could muster was some lousy 14.4's, but the MPH was up
by almost 1.5 mph.
The overall feel of the TB is unbelievable !!!!, especially if your going
from a stock 65mm tb, right to this unit. I had been running a modified
68mm TB prior to bolting on Bruce's, and while the 68mm tb was stronger
than the 65mm tb, and out flowed the stock 65mm tb by 20%, there is no
comparison to Bruce's 69mm unit. It responds on the low end very well, and
the top end is flat out AWESOME, VERY strong. It keeps pulling well past
5000, doesn't fall off until atleast 5500 rpms.
I'm not into "butt" dyno's, so I can't put a hp number on it, but I can
say, without a doubt, its the best mod I have done to date.
Better than the air-intake, HP PCM, modded 68mm tb, Flowmaster cat back, or
the AIT relocation.
The TB looks awesome, and is very intimidating. Its huge, the entry
diameter has to be close to 80mm. If you set the TB face up it looks like a
Velocity stack !! I have noticed no decrease in mileage as a result of the
TB.
I nice piece of engineering work, that I'd highly recommend. I'll have it
on the dyno in July, at the Chrysler National @ Carlisle PA.
Thanks Bruce ! you da Man !
