They are probably hard to find because no one handles them any longer due to problems. I had one and had to send it back as my truck felt like it was down on power by a good 50hp! Ended up getting an A/F and it works fine!

Never had ANY problems with my accufab.. Check all the fittings and calibrate it right and you won't have any problems.

I know only a few months ago a throttle body thread came up and EVERYBODY was saying to use Billetflow. Now they're crap? I have an Accufab which has worked great for me, and I got it at a very good deal. But I always though Billetflow was a top notch unit also, so looking for the truth here.

They have had that up for about 3 or 4 mths now or longer, about getting a new machine and testing them and all that. Does anyone know any new up-dated info on what's going on with them? I like them because you can get them in diff' colors and have them ingraved, is there any other brand of TB' that you can get with Lightning engraved on them?

Billetflow stopped making the TBs because of all the problems with them on the 03-04 Cobras. It's kind of ashame, because they worked great on the Lightnings. I was told they were about 3 months away from the new TBs, about 6 months ago. I talked them about it recently, and they have still not gotten there yet. Keep in mind that they are a tool and die manufacturer, so the performance goodies take a back seat to their tooling accounts. I'm sure the new TB will be nice when it comes out, but there's no sign of that just yet.

The B/F is definately the best looking t/b by far! My Accufab looks allright but not as good as the B/F did! If only it had worked as well as this A/F does!
