Bruce e-mailed me that the F&B billet TB's will be released around the end of the month. There will be a 70 mm and a 72 mm. Damn, Bee-otch. That's gonna make some serious power. Just be patient, it'll be worth the wait.

From what I discussed with Bruce today, it's a 69 and 70mm version...we'll see what happens on the final production unit...which is being sent to the anodizer by the end of this week.
BTW: We sturck a deal with Intense Performance on offering a custom intake tube (with filter) for the new throttle body.

Just got off the phone with Bruce...yes, a 72mm will be built, but they are ONLY recommended for the folks with the custom programmed PCM's with no rev-limiter and custom cat-back systems. They are of no use to the standard 4.7L with the factory 5200rpm rev-limiter.
Versions that will be available:
69, 70, and 72mm

Bernd-I've heard folks talk about this Rev limiter. I have a '00 4.7 4x4 CC 40,000 miles. Got it last year June. I have yet to encounter this rev limiter and I drive the balls of my truck. I drive 72 miles to work everyday, and have had the truck up over 100mph. Is this rev limiter something they changed mid production year?

The 4.7's really start to wake up at higher rpm's. I was referring to 5500-6000rpm range where you'll need the extra breathing room from the 72mm TB. The 5-Speeds don't seem to have as many of the "safety" features as the automatics (Speed Limiter/Rev-Limiter) but it's still there.
Over 100mph in a 4x4...uhhhh...you running All Terrain tires? They're rated to 112mph. I wouldn't recommend that you attempt to find out anything higher than that. ;)
Normal Speed Limiter is 115 on manuals and about 98mph on automatics. Rev-limiter is 5200-5500rpm max.
But we all know how consistent Mopar is with their PCM's...someone could have received a "oopsie" without either from the factory.

I got my 4x4 4.7 over 110 and didnt even think
about the tires. Thanks for the tip. I had work
done from the dealer. They reprogramed the
PCM so I think the limiter is not on there. They
also did the cat back exaust. I want to know if
the intake I have will give enough air with the
throtle bodie. I have an intake that mates up to
the hood with a tube about 4inches wide.
Then it goes through the air box. I wonder if I
would be better off with an open air
element???? Any answers?

Bernd. I have ran my truck out to about 5,600 RPM's with no rev limiter kicking in. I feeel the HP being produced right now to around 5,300-5,400 RPM's and then it drops sharply. I have the stock PCM and air filter for now. (I really like the looks of the Volant cold air intake) Is this because I am a 3.92 5 speed or is Canada's reg's less strict than the states??
Also should I hold off on a cold air inatke if I want a 72mm trottlebody? Will they even hook up and won't the narrower diameters of the after market intake or super charger tubing defeat the purpouse of such a wide TB opening.
Thanks.
