i was just reading up on the people who own the BBK and seems theres a slight proble with slack on the cable and somethin with the cruis control so i was wondering if either the MAC or Edelbrock have that same problem... everyoone seems to love them especially when they are combined with an intake and when u have exhaust and other mods like pulleys it only maes it better... leaning more off the BBK if the others dont need modification but ill see.. thanks.. TIM

I believe a new TB can help it's the TB spacers that are a waste of time and money.

Thumbs up

I just put a bbk 75 on my 5.4, it picked up little more than a tenth at the drag strip. no problems with cables. did no grinding on the neck. just bolt it on checked tps left it at .85, will get to it later.

2000 F-150 scab, 5000lbs with me in it.

I saw on rpmoutlet, they have an 80mm BBK for the new 3v 5.4s, is this the same BBK we're advised not to buy because its smaller than our stock one? Or this is something new?
