In case you haven't been watching, there's a GB on this piece for a good price over in the Group Buy forum. Only a couple days left and we need 3 more SVTF pre-orders for it to go through. Li'l help?

*Edit* The group buy is through CFM
 
Yeah, come on you SVT drivers. You know at least 3 of you NEED one of these.

It's one of the best performance mods you can make.

Team that up with a SCT XCalibrator and an intake and you're good to go.

Disclaimer: Just because I'm one of the 7 who already pre-ordered has no influence on me giving this mod a big

.

Yeah, right.

I thought we already had a 66mm TB? I got that from some ford spec's somewhere, although I cannot find it atm.
 
How much are they going for?
Check out the Group Buy Forum. You have to PM the CFM guy for a link that will take you to a page with the special pricing. He's stated that he cannot advertise the price publicly due to his agreement with Focus Central on the pricing. You should get a reply from him within 24 hours. There are 4 different Focus TBs and any one that gets 10 preorders will be able to get the GB pricing.

Just remember, you REALLY NEED this.

There is a post in the group buy section about the FC 65mm svtf group buy.
Man, you're quick. That's what I get for taking a bathroom break in the middle of typing my reply to him.

Our TB is not 66mm stock. My understanding is that it's right around 65, but tapers down to about 63. This isn't a mod done for dyno gains, people do it for throttle response. The FC piece apparently has the linkage set at a different angle, which opens the throttle proportionately wider for less accelerator. Meaning, if you floor it, you're not going to notice much difference - but part throttle acceleration feels peppier. Normally I wouldn't drop money on this mod, but the group buy price is low enough to make it worth my while. Various people port the TB by just grinding it out - which works, but the aftermarket piece also does the little trick of adjusting the attachment angle of the linkage. FWIW, I think it's worth doing.
 
Yeah I would like to see if it would make a difference. All I have heard is that it doesn't. I know the ported setup makes a difference of the stock setup. I would like to see if the FC 65mm TB makes a difference of the ported one.
 
i have a ported stocker, and i'm on the GB. we'll see if it makes a difference.
I'm looking forward to your feedback. Being that your FI, it might prove different, I doubt it, but I'm looking forward to what you think!!
