Hey Bryan,
I volunteer to have Andre test this on my car. I can take it back to stock with the exception of the Magnaflows. Then I can add the JLT and tune back and see what the difference is. I could meet with him this Saturday. This would be very close to what they did for the BBK TB.
I do like the look and finish of this TB better than the BBK.

2005RedGT,

You've done a good job, no need to try harder bro and get an ulser from it Let the tuners figure it out. Mark could lower the price if he chose to, they are still making a decent profit on it.
To me...this sounds as if the TB's are not ready, and a "certain" number is needed, or wanted for production...just reading between the lines here...maybe Im wrong

Are they shipping as soon as an order comes in ?

The TB's are priced high, but thats the price U pay when new parts are in demand, all vendors do this.
Question is...will we find one willing to give a true GP price, and let the products performance sell from there. A GP is to help promote a product, not make a million the first go around..
I saw the JDM piece U speak of,very nice indeed..

 

Am I seeing this right? BBK is offering theirs for a lot less with huge gains over the LFP. What is the incentive to go with LFP? Especially after the group buy is over, and their price goes way up.

 

Well there 'should' big difference in quality. Example: The BBK is cast and has lower quality gearing (from what I can tell). The LFP is billet aluminum (that can be anodized) with brass gearing, stepped up ratio for better throttle response. Cast tend not to seal as well and the billet should provide a better fit.

Don't always belive the magazines either - I have seen magazine dynos say that the mufflers available for 05 produce decent gains. However, you will find that most people will be able to debut that. However, LFP need to provide some dyno charts for STOCK and MODDED 05's so we can see proof.

Thanks for holding off for a while Bryan, some of us have to pick and choose our mods very carefully due to budget constraints...I really wish I did not have to, so I could jump on anything I wanted and if it does not work...who cares!

 

I should have asked first but did not. Is my JLT going to work on the new TB or is the TB too large?

 

I hope mine ship's out tomorrow...If it does there's an outside chance I could dyno it this saturday. If not then I will shoot for the following saturday...I'm going to bolt it on at the tuning shop after I get a basline. I don't trust the magazines as they must use "Magic" Dyno's...Real world dyno's and track times are all that matter to me. I might also be testing out some Zex...

 

One of our members, Madhouse, is supposed to get the new TB next week. Andre will dyno and tune and dyno for the new LFP TB. I will post his results ASAP.

-Bryan

 

...so theres no testing done as of yet?

I hope to hear good things from Madhouse

 

Not to re-hash this up...
Is this a dead issue ?

If so...I plan to direct that money towards a set of Kooks headers, and cat x-pipe.

 

Not really. I am waiting for him to dyno on a stock and then a modified 05. This should be coming with-in a 7-10 days. Unfortuantely, they are waiting for a new batch to arrive.

-Bryan

 

OK..thanks Bryan

 

After reading this thread and talking to someone I trust. A larger TB will not do much at all for our engine (maybe 3-5hp). I myself So I'm waiting for a few real world dyno's to post before considering a purchase. Thanks to those who are trying out this mod.

 

Bruce welcome to the sit and wait club. The are loads of us out here waiting for the same news. I am sure Bryan will post here ASAP after Dyno run.

 

Well, good news. Andre has tested the TB and has the results. I will post up pics and dyno sheets as soon as he has them. For now, take a look at his post on ModularFord.com:

"...total of 9.1HP and 7.6TQ with no tuning, no cold air, no cheating of any kind..."

-Bryan

 

Here is a link w/ actual dyno numbers from a bone stock 05...after some tuning it will be even more worth the loot...

Bryan, you beat me to it ]

 

lol, funny

 

That's good new's... That's a lot without intake, exhaust and a tune. Mine just arrived and it's a work of art. You will imediatley see were the extra money went. I'm shooting for a 15 RWHP gain and those number's you posted might make that possible.

 

i would like to see one tested thats already been tuned with other mods!! thats where i want to see the difference and for it to be a 5sp.

 

I'm hoping to get it on the dyno this saturday, work permiting...
