BBK Throttle Body
The throttle body is among the indispensable components in every vehicle. This is the part of the air intake system that controls the amount of air flowing into the engine in response to the driver input. This is usually located between the air filter box and the intake manifold and is typically attached to or near the mass air flow sensor. Within the throttle body, the largest component is the throttle plate, which is a butterfly valve that regulates the airflow. The regular throttle bodies may also contain valves and adjustments to control the minimum airflow during idle time. Once bolted in your auto, expect the throttle body to increase your vehicle's throttle response and its power. And if the throttle body comes from a more respected brand such as the BBK brand, you can be sure that the gains are indeed there for your taking. As the originator of aftermarket performance throttle bodies, BBK offers a variety of throttle bodies for different applications and needs. The throttle bodies from the BBK brand include the performance throttle bodies, the Power Plus F-Series for the Ford trucks, the power plus series, and the universal throttle bodies. The BBK universal throttle bodies feature a four-barrel design and are great for custom applications. These performance parts also include the throttle position sensor. The performance throttle bodies, like the ones that will fit the Mustang line, can bolt on an additional 6-12 horsepower in a matter of minutes. These performance products feature airflows which are 30 to 40 percent better than the stock ones. When you get them, expect to get all new gaskets and the necessary hardware too. The Power Plus F-Series, on the other hand, is designed for the Ford trucks and is available in twin 56mm and twin 61mm sizes. It will automatically add between 8 to 12 horsepower to your drive. The product is a direct bolt-on and needs no modifications. It is great for sport and towing applications.
