Throttlebody really make a difference?

For those who have installed a BBk 65mm throttlebody, does it make a noticable difference in performance? any regrets?
Considering that as my next mod and would appreciate some feedback for those in the know. Thanks in advance.

Don't forget the ACCUFAB Single Blade!! Works like a champ, fits right in and ready to run in 30-45 mins. POWER at the pedal.

Hey HeavyAssault, do you have the part number for the Accufab throttle body for the V10?

I talked to the guys at ACCUFAB and they told me they do not make a unit for the V10. I mentioned the part number (CTB96-98) and I was told the owner tried one on a V10 and it did not work.
I told them about the positive posts on this forum about their throttle body on a V10 and they were completely in the dark!! I guess they are researching this and will get back to me.

I suggest you look at MY PICS link in my gallery here. You will see it looks good, fits well and does a good job at building HP for the V10.

I have had it for a year now and would recommend it to anyone willing to move up to an aftermarket TB.

throttle body

Thanks HeavyAssault. Nice looking set up you have. As far as the throttle body goes, does it hit "heavy" as soon as you apply pressure to the gas pedal. I had a BBK throttle body and the initial hit was so hard my wife couldn't stand it (it's her truck during the week).
How does the Accufab fell.
I appreciate the help.

I find it to be pedal friendly, as smooth as anything and OPENS up when you go WOT. My wife drives the truck often and hasn't been scared yet.

If you can try it for free why not?? I hope it works, it would just be another application to look into for power.

HeavyAssault -- That TB looks like a nice piece of machinery and thanks for all the great pics - Did the new TB have any effect on your mpg ?
