03-09-04 : Well one of the last pieces of
the puzzle arrived - the
Accufab oval
throttle body. The oval unit is designed for
applications that are going to exceed 550hp and can flow an
exceptional amount of air. At first I was considering
ordering a custom unit since nothing else on the car is
polished, however time and other aspects made me decide on a
standard polished unit - I figure I can always glass bead it
if I want a change. So I went to the online store at
ModularDepot.Com
(since my last experience with the camshafts was so positive) and
ordered the TB. Again I received a prompt email
confirming my order and the item was at my door in just over
a week - normal shipping from CA to NY for an in stock item.
Pricing was great, as was service - you can't go wrong with
them. My thanks to Ken and crew for their service and
best of luck on their new venture - MD Motorsports!As for the unit itself, the
blade operation is smooth, the size of the throat is amazing
compared to the stock 2v unit. The polished piece
contrasts the RR intake quite well - I will have to see how
it looks with the remaining pieces under the hood.
Initial driving results from others with similar
combinations say the throttle is extremely smooth and crisp
- I should have a full report in about a month! |
