The difference that I feel is that the response to the throttle is indeed quicker; not a huge difference, just noticeable.
I decided to invite my son over to drive my truck. I told him nothing. He commented “what did you do to it this time?” I asked why and he said it felt a quicker when first giving it the gas. His comment in essence parrots mine.

I was wondering this too. I would love to test it out on mine, if I could get someone's stock TB for cheap or off ebay. I'd buy the BBK, but I can't justify spending the money on that when I know the motor is going to be replaced with atleast a 302 after the axle swap is done.V8BoatBuilder said:I'm wondering if 4.0s could use 5.0 TB's, there are 65mm stock.
95offroadx said:could you even use a 70mm tb from a 5.0 on a 4.0ohv? i know no one has done this yet, but if the stock 5.0 tb would work would the 70mm? someone try this!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MONMIX said:hey Al, did you do the TPS "mod" with the instalation of the new TB ?
aldive said:No; never saw any sense in it.
CDW6212R said:Cool Joe, that would explain why OBDII vehicles don't ever complain about idle hunting like is common with performance EECIV engines. Basically the fix was always to play with the TPS, and the idle air bypass. Regards,

gijoecam said:Indeed.... I explained what I found about the OBD-II/Ratch voltage from the TPS over in the TPS mod thread a while back.... I was told by a few people that I had to be wrong, of course, but given my understanding of how the ECU is programmed to interpret the TPS voltage, (actually, it was copied directly from the Ford service manual, so I didn't make this stuff up) there shouldn't be any possible way it could make a difference.
Instead of hijacking this thread, here's the page where I jumped into the fray (about 3/4 of the way down)
