Well fellas got my X-metal throttle body today by Mr. fedex!!:rock:

All I can say so far is WOW it is P U R T Y!!

So far it is a work of art, excellent machining and super polish job!!

the thing jsut gleeems:D

but I figured since as far as I know I am the only one with a hennessy throttle body I could compare the two and with the stock throttle body on my QC

The great thing about the x-metal TB is its polished on the inside, I had to do no adjusting of the throttle blade, it slide right in, and the dual bearings on the throttle side:rock:

With the Hennessy I had side to side slop and play and with the dual bearings on the X-metal there is virtually no play at all, this will keep any wearing of the inside of the bore to a minimum.

The instructions were excellent and dead on, everything went together just as the instructions said.The were well wrote and had plenty of pictures:rock: guess that was for Eddie;) :D

I have everything installed but I have run out of thread lock, so tommorrow I will finish it up, install it on mine, take a little ride, then install it on the QC and see how it feels on both.

I will also give UGR a call and see when I can get some dyno time and see how it does, so far it looks very very promising:rock:

Here are some pics of the two for comparison
 
Tony, the blade on the X-Metal seems a little larger; are they the same size?
 
Can I touch it? :dontknow: :D

Looks good Tony, what are gonna do with the "other" one? Is it worth having with the play in the butterfly?
 
Wow! The x-metal throttle body is looking great than the other one! :rock: :rock:

To tell you the truth, from the pictures they almost look identical :dontknow:

You gonna look for any HP increase Stinker, or any other noticable gain (WOT response, butt dyno, etc.)?
 
i to have a jh tb and was very sad when i got it to see what i had to do to make it work, after tearing apart my stock one to make the jh one work i could not go back to stock and i think now the bearings are starting to go, no fun to buying the same mods twice cause something better has come out.

uh yeah , but Joanne might get jealous:D

but the jh had bad slop the x does not , it should make a ton of difference:rock:
 
After what Tommy (wazzsup) went through with his JH throttle body I decided to wait for something else. The X-metal one looks very good.

yep the jh was one big pain in the bazookam the x went together like a cool fresh breath of air:rock:
