BBK Performance Throttlebody

On a 460 EFI, has anyone installed one of these BBK Performance Throttlebodies? Part# 3502. Any performance increases or gas mileage increases? Any intresting quirks?

Long ago (8 years ago) I installed one of these on a '92 F-250 460V8 I used to own. Didn't really notice any increases but it was quirky in that it seemed to have a lag or pause between idle and wide open throttle. I took it off and returned it for a refund. Anyone have good experiences?

Not money well spent IMO, you are better off investing in headers.

I just got one on my truck about a month ago.Seems to have a little difference low end..Mileage increase no way...I get worse mileage i use to get 10 now i get 8 go figure..But i could have another problem with my truck to cause that too but i'm not sure..I got a 90 day money back guarantee so i'm going to put my stock one back on and see...Now my truck runs super rich with it (i have a air fuel ratio gauge)..IT has way better quality than the stock one though...But for $350 it should be...

Please keep us informed when you switch back to the stock Throttlebody. Intresting to see if better MPG returns.
