BBK 52mm Airfoil?

Didn't know where to post this question, so hopefully someone can answer me. Im wondering if there is a throttle body airfoil that will work with the BBK 52mm throttle body. The Hypertech unit from my stock throttle body won't work, but is there any others that will? Any help would be great. Thanks.

I know that the BBK and other aftermarket units come with an "airfoil" kind of built in already, but I was wondering if there is something else to help smooth the air out a bit more. Thanks.

your tb should be fine the way it is. dont even bother trying to smooth the air out anymore, it's designed to get as much air as it can get for a 52 mm tb

I agree, no airfoil should be necessary or beneficial on either the Holley or the BBK throttle bodies.

I'll take your stock airfoil if you're giving it away.
