ummm i dont think so. it pulls good at 2k at light acceleration. but its seems like it gets up past 3k alot easier.....not sure if that constitutes as a loss of low end.

I would like to get TB this summer but can't decide which one I want. Theres a person on dak-dur that will port the stock one, which is supposably really good. Then there are 68mm and 70mm ones...

Bigger is not always better when it comes to TB's.

i thought Dan from fastman did a ported tb? its the stocker but just bored out to 68.5 i think. he claims that the 68.5 bore is the best for the 4.7. spending 400 on an f&B or 300 on a BBK is not worth it.

isn't porting what they do after they bore it to shine it up real good.
looked shiny in the pic. i guess it helps air flow a little more.

Yeah, they bore it first.

And from what I've hear, a bored stock TB is the best for the 4.7 as well. And they are only $100 as opposed to $300 or so. It's kinda like exhaust. Having a 3" exhaust all the way back will kill your low end and so will a TB that is too big.
