Bauer throttle bodies are awesome! Great gains!!!

Got it in about a week...Easy to install, looks amazing.

Normally I run 13.0's @ 107-108 consistantly (I have about 20 runs of 13.0)

Last night -- Run 12.86, then 12.91, then 12.94, then 12.89 -- @ 109 - 110

Going from 13.0 @ 108 to 12.8 @ 110 is amazing for the low cost.

I recommend this TB to anyone!

Thanks, Bret! www.bauer-racing.com

why does this worry me? so if you don't have autotap you'll get SES lights...if so it doesn't sound quite so good

no

since its adjustable, you can change it to maximize your throttle position...thus causing no SES lights


i put mine on in like 30 mins, and drove it to the track the next day, and ran...no problems, no ses, nothing

anyone else have this tb. From what i remember from searching on this board an aftermarket tb doesn't net you much unless you're over a certain hp. I may be wrong. Sounds good so far, i'd like to hear other people experiences with this product.

I'm quite pleased with my Bauer. I noticed better throttle response immediately, and it looks nice too . Good people to deal with as well.

Pretty reasonable price I think. Looks like a much better job than what I could do, and being able to adjust the throttle stop with the capability to reverse it if for some reason it starts setting an SES light is kind of nice.

What kind of turn-around time?

HIGHLY doubt it...

I was dyno'd back in the winter @ like 276rwhp/299rwtq....and I was still running 13.0. Doesn't make sense to me so I lost faith in dyno's. Just a waste of money if I can see my gains in the 1/4 and with my 1/4mph etc etc....
