It idles and revs fine. It's not as responsive as my 90mm was but it's just a base file from Steve @ Weistec. I kinda want to trailer it out to LA after I get my paint work done so Weistec can play with it live instead of distance tuning.

Now that's what I'm talking about! Definitely overkill for cars making 500-550 whp like I plan to be. Looking forward to your results.

Wow, that's badass.

What's the deal with your belt tensioner? Doesn't look stock.

Arrington huh. Not doubting you but what makes them better? Do the bbk's have issues? Last thing I want is to go through all of this and have a junk tb. That's why I liked the hellcat tb. It was oem. Thanks!

So, Arrington made a 100mm huh? Could be interesting
For pre 2012 lX's, largest they make is 90mm.

Having issues with the BBK units in the LX world is not unusual, I trashed mine. Arrington makes a much more solid unit IMO. Their full billet ones is real nice.

I assume the pin out and function is the same as the other hemi bbk brand throttle body that works on our cars. Any body know for sure if they electronically function the same?


Any updates?

Dodge changed the electronics on '13+ cars so it is no longer compatible with mb's. Unfortunately see post 17
