Dual Throttle Body

[dtheo]

Why didn't Ford make a duel throttle bodies for the Vodoo engine? Every other flat plane crank engine in the world has this, even the new Z06 for max air intake (naturally). I'd love to see one professionally designed as an option for us.

Are they by any chance dual intake mid engined cars ?

There was a statement from a Ford Engineer before saying they tried a bigger TB (90 or 92mm I think) on the 5.2 and saw almost no real gain so found it to not be worth it in the application.
I'm not sure why the new 5.0 even is, I've seen nothing that seem to show there is a bennifit to it unless you trying to build something that revs like 8500+ or a TT setup. Not something very many will do. Most will probably be getting rid of the whole intake system for a supercharger or barely be doing more than a tune to get 8000RPM.

The new dark horse edition is looking to have a dual throttle body. I'm interested to see if it will work on the 350

Yea the only reason I ask is that Corvette claims to have 110% efficiency with their dual intake and if Ford built one for Dark Horse I wonder why not for 350. I didn't realize an engineer said there was no real gain so that makes sense. I guess I am a purest where I want the maximum HP from natural aspirations and not supercharged or turbo. Ty for input.....

All GT's now have the dual throttlebody.

Don't forget the new TB's are also digital signal not analogue, the Bullitt/Mach1 87MM is different from the GT350 87mm due to that. So you'll need to not only get the GT350 to accept a more model TB controller, but two if them. You MAY be able to get away with using 2 GT350 TB's but you'd have to figure out how to get the ECU to adapt the airflow for 2 as well. Probably spend a LOT more on dyno tuning than its worth.

I'm pretty sure the dual TB's are to get past the larger hydro carbon filters.

I second that!

I wonder if that new engine cover/intake cover would be a 2018-2023 solution to replace the ugly ugly that is on there now.
