Thumbs up

HI!... Thanks DOUG! So the BILLETFLOW TB is actually slightly bigger than the ACCUFAB TB? Interesting. Thanks again.

Sorry I couldn't get these to you Neal. My roomate has been sick for five days now and the only computer that I can download the photos on is the one in his room. Big thanks to dougwg for hooking up Neal.

HI!... Does the BILLETFLOW and the ACCUFAB both run about the same price?

I think they are both around $450. I paid $370 shipped for my Billetflow NEW on Ebay about five months ago. I got a killer deal I think.

I have a BaBolt throttle body(bigger than accufab). What are the dimesions on the BF and exactly how much air does it flow compared to the BaBolt throttle body?

I have made some very nice improvments to the design of the TB sence we made the time we made all of Bs-Bolts TB's

3D contoured inlet form




and narrowed TB shaft

Yes, but that didn't answer the question.
I'd like to see some proof that BF flows more than accufab or BaBolt.

and exactly how do you propose I "Prove" it to you?

I'm sorry but I don't believe ANYTHING I do will convince you.

Get one of each and stick them on a flow bench? I don't know. You're in the business. I'm sure there are tests to determine it. I'm not the one selling TB's and telling everyone mine is better w/o proof.

BTW, I doubt anyone on this board maxes out their aftermarket TB so it probably doesn't matter much anyway.

only way is to gather everyone and do the flowing infront of everyone... and I doubt hat is gunna happen...

Also, there are not to many flow benches made that can flow enough air to check these big SB TB's... 99.9% of flow benches can only flow a few hundred CFM ( for porting heads)

If you don't think bigger size, smooth transition from eliptical to oval and narrowed shaft is self evident of more flow... ask any tuner.

"BTW, I doubt anyone on this board maxes out their aftermarket TB so it probably doesn't matter much anyway."
Your probably right, as far as most people.... but some pushing lots of HP will benefit.
