After I decided to cancel the BBk tb , today I received the throttle boby, how?? why ?? dont know, made some calls nobody knows either, so, had it in my hand's, truck all cooled down, well I installed it, what happened next, first let me say I dont know the expirience of other members that are using this type of tb, you really feel the diffrence, engine feels more alive, having the Granatelly maf the K&N Fipk and the Borla, this engine roars now more than before and with the help of the Superchip, move over here I come, I was "kind" of happy with the mod's I had but now I am very but very happy, smiles all around, gas milage, dont ask just installed it, how strong it feel's yes very strong, the main reason I had cancelled the tb was that they said that the tb and the maf combined would have given the engine idle problems, the engine was new and I didnt want any of this problem, so, just I stayed with the maf, I am not saying you should run and purchase one, it is that I am happy with the install, no idle problem what so ever.

I would like to know the exact measurement of the factory vs BBK/Edelbrock throttle body, and the factory vs Granatelli MAF sensor; on a 2000 5.4 . At $300 a piece I wondered if this was good performance for the $ .

Just came back from cruising around and wanted to keep going but was getting hungry, well tommorrow i'll have a very serious test drive on the high way, The Granatelli Maf is much larger than the OEM can't say how much, on the BBK TB also I placed one beside the other and yes there's a large diffrence well the box say's 75mm, I was so worried about the idling problem I had one beside the other and did not took measurements,but i'll measure it on sunday if you guys want to wait, I got the Granatelli from Performanceproducts.com but from the catalog they are 289.95 and the TB from Truckperformance they are 180.00 well that was the price when I orderd it in april but they were on back order at the time and when I learned of the maf tb problem I decided to cancel it. give me a chance to give it that test drive and on sunday i'll reply with the correct measurements.
Powerlifter,
cant say if there's any diffrence between Pro M and Granatelli, never used ProM , I have heard that Granatelli uses the ProM TB and tag their name plate on it cant say if it's true, the maf I have is all aluminum.

 

Please keep us informed;.
If this truck gets passed on to my wife when I get my stroker, I want to at least make it fun for her to drive. Heck if i can get some extra ponies w/o killing the drivability, grrrreatt............
