For your limited mods I'd say the FMS 65mm TB would be the best way to go and more than enough for what you've got. While a bigger throttle body doesn't really hurt, it certainly won't help you out any. Plus the FMS unit comes with a TPS sensor and an IAC already on it.

I don't know about being second best, but the second most I have seen on cars is the Edelbrock/BBK throttle bodies. They work pretty good and are of good quality. No, I don't think the Accufabs are worth the extra cash unless you are making an all out, serious effort. But then again, I have seen many a serious cars running the Edelbrock/BBK throttle bodies.

accufabs fit and finish is awesome, and I do not regret the money I spent, but I've heard good things about the mac unit and it IS cheaper.

Cool

I'd say the BBK's are 2nd best. It makes a cool whistling noise at idle too.

Right now, I think the MAC is the best VALUE in TB's. Looks sweet, and is priced very reasonably, and includes EGR spacer. Ive had BBK and FMS, and the MAC looks better than both, and BBK's have had quality issues in the past.

Just to put in my $.02 worth. I just bought a 65mm TB from Central Coast Mustang. They say its an Explorer one that they have modified for a 5spd mustang. Why just a 5spd I don't know. Anyway they are selling the TB for $119. I also got a 67mm EGR spacer for $37 from Parkway Ford. Both are Ford pieces. Hope this helps.
