Default Throttle Bodies Again..

This is interesting...

I never knew SS Inductions made a Throttle Bodies for the 6 cylinder ford.

I think it could be all a misprint. They say stock size is 74mm. It is a 78mm TB, and expect up to 12rwkw. Similar testing found squat all difference in larger TB's on an I6. i.e. Hamo & G&D. Then why would SS Inductions bring these out?

Then on the SS Inductions website i found nothing, and can't even find the part # for them.

They stopped making them because there was no power gains.

No need to get worked up jonbays.

Sure I've heard about larger TB's doing no work on an I6. But i never knew SS Inductions made them us. And if so, why would such a big company make a product that doesn't work?

You'd find, they are doing a clearance on nearly all off their products. Even BA.

I would be interested to see some real results. I wander if SS Inductions have any proof or dyno sheets, of their claims?
