Just a note, the 70mm TB I have from BBK didn't have a bypass port. wink

The after-market TBs I've noticed are "cammed" to open a bit quicker than the 65mm factory Ford ones, which are already faster than an SVT TB, so your throttle will be touchy as all heck. Not a whole lot you can do without welding in a bead to make the ramp angle change or perhaps weld on a new linkage arm perhaps. You're a resourceful guy warmonger; you'll figure it out. Nothing to tough...

It also may take a little while to get the throttle plate adjusted correctly once you rotate the linkage 180 degrees. A tip here is to keep the same orientation for the throttle plate relative to the TB housing (i.e. the top stays the top, front stays the front, etc) and don't rotate it with the bar/linkage.

A 70mm TB non-optimized without LIM secondaries will keep air speed up enough to blaze Kumho 712 235/40/17's on my SE 3 liter at around 2,500 RPM coming off a roll. I think I need to optimize it for better throttle response, what do you think? :rolleyes: :p I think I will just for fun...
