Not CARB approved so cannot be sold or shipped to anyone in CA. I was interested for a tiny bit.

It may pick up a tad bit of power if any,(20 seems high) but the internal gears in BBK throttle bodies are often a soft metal that degrades over time which can lead to stalling and limp mode issues.

We haven't experienced this on a Gen 2, but we have experienced BBK T/B's on 6.2 Raptors and Mustangs for the better part of 20 years. We had a 2011 mustang with a BBK T/B here that kept going limp and stalling about 1 month ago, a stock throttle body was the remedy.

In our opinion, if the throttle body is not a Ford OEM unit or an Accufab, normally the quality is not there.

Wow, perhaps they caught on from over the years...
First I've seen of a BBK offering OEM electronics and hardware, that's a big step in the right direction.
I'd like to get one and tear it apart.

Good enough for me not to buy it

Thanks

It states "plus OEM quality throttle gear" not OEM gear. There's a difference.

Not saying it's not quality just stating it's not the same.

Yeah says OEM electronics, and OEM 'quality' gears etc. Looks interesting to me though, looks well made from what I can see.

One of many products out I'd like to try along with intake tubes etc. but unfortunately not many independent reviews to show if these actually work. Hope that changes
