So far my FRPP 65mm has been the best quality, in terms of throttle feel an low speed modulation. My new TB is 75mm and feels like it pulls harder which is nice but the throttle feel i not quite there. More like an on or off switch rather than a gradual increase as I push the pedal. Well, not that bad but still doesn't have the feel that my FRPP does. Please tell me about yuor experience. Thanks.
Best QUALITY throttle body?

Accufab is generally known to be the best.
Professsional Products is a bad cast from Edelbrock, you'll have to drill out one of the bolt holes to get it to fit. Thats why its so cheap. Plus they tend to stick WOT much more than other throttle bodies.

Accufab is the best in the common aftermarket.
Yeah, what you experienced with the 75mm TB is common...I haven't understood why people get them still. They flow literally 2x more than a 302 can breathe in even at 100% volumetric effiecieny. They breathe close to 1.5 times the amount that a 347 can take in as well. So why do people get the 75mm TB? Simple, internet hear-say. Bigger is better...right? LOL.

FRPP is the best one readily available.
I have a 65mm Accufab designed for a '94-95. Got it in a lucky stroke on internet classifieds... Yes it's real, I called accufab.
Had a 70mm BBK. Hated that whistling POS.
I hear Edelbrock has a new supplier for '94-95 TB's and they're supposed to be OEM quality...

I am putting down just about 300rwhp or a little more n/a to be retested this month. With the 125 shot of nitrous I am getting hooked up, I thought it would help quite a bit on air flow plus the elbow is 75mm.
Acufab does not make anything for 94/95...unbelievable..

Exactly it's amazing how many think they need 800+cfm on a 302 lol...5spd GT said:
Pokageek - With the nitrous injection...I'm sure the 75mm TB isn't hurting you to bad. I see way to many cars with 75+mm TB's in the hopes that it will let more air in. Nope, the engine can only take in so much.
Ford, Accufab and Edelbrock's are all good TB's in my opinion.
wytstang - I'm with ya man, the Accufab 75mm TB is pushing close to 1000 (95x?) cfm...crazy stuff.
I really had thought about getting a 75mm TB because of the 'cool craze' it is going thru...but decided I didn't want to spend money on something that wouldn't help me, and give me the throttle response I do not want.
It cracks me up when people say they had a "small" TB and they got a bigger one and it doesn't do squat, except look good on paper.

My problem with this is that the aftermarket makes an elbow that has the larger opening now. So isnt that a non-issue now? Most of the new elbows are what 70mm and isnt there one or two that are 75mm? Now on the stock intake I see that point...but on an aftermarket or more performance intake I just dont buy that reason.

When I called Accufab to verify that the one I bought was really an Accufab (I was thinkin' it was a PP with an Accufab blade) they verified that it is the real thing. They produced them for a short period of time so there are a couple hundred out there. However the testing they did never included a Cobra intake with 70mm openings, and did not take into account the newer elbows available now with larger openings. The testing was all done back in the 90s when nothing was really out yet. 65-70mm TB's are common and do add some HP to these motors, I think it's a poor excuse to not make stuff for a niche market that isn't as profitable as the rest of their stuff.

or skip C&L all together and find a used Pro-M 80mm...and never buy another MAF again
