Larger throttle body ?
I have a 2001 GT and i want to modify it. I am looking for advice on mods. Should i get a cold air kit or just K&N filter. I am thinking about a MAC cat back or just get 2 chamber flowmasters welded in. I know i wont get much power from either. Will i benefit from fitting a larger throttle body though, i read somewhere it's worth about 10 hp but i don't believe it on a stock motor.

actually from what ive heard and read you actually either gain nothing or lose hp. especially on a near stock application such as yours. if i was you i would get a h or x pipe first then a set of 373 or 410 gears.jmho.

Ive heard a larger Throttle body on the pre 99 4.6 will hurt performance, but I heard it will produce extra power on the 99+ 4.6's.
Its hard to trust the aftermarket companies ratings. They tend to really over-exagerate in some cases. ------------------ 64 1/2 "D" code Red Mustang Coupe. 289, C4, 3:1 rear gear.
