Rowhan Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I have a friend with a V8 mustang and he wants to upgrade to a nicer 75mm throttle body. What are good brands to go with? Is this a good one? Thanks. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BBK-96-newer-Throttle-Body-75mm-Ford-4-6-1701_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33558QQitemZ7976078329QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJINOHIO03 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Depends on the mods on the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98GrdPoundr Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Depends on the mods on the car true , if he is still stock tell him to save his money, he may actually lose some power by going that big. but if hes going just on looks accufab is the nicest looking throttle body imo.

martindc1 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Agreed. Tell him to save his money, especially if it is for a 4.6. Save money for gears if they aren't done and for a Bullitt intake if it is a 4.6 (then you get a dual bore TB anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99BlownYellowGT Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 A bullitt intake? Why so you can spend 2grand when its all said and done to pick up 10hp? Gears are definately a good choice. I have a Ford Racing 70mm Throttlebody it seems to work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martindc1 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Since when is the Bullitt intake $2000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98GrdPoundr Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 you might pick it up cheaper used but a new bullit intake is right around $850 and then you still have to buy the install kit for around $900 also . so $2000 sounds about right. http://www.gefracing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=G&Product_Code=9424OEM&Category_Code=46INTAKE http://www.gefracing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=G&Product_Code=BULLITTINSTALL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martindc1 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Wow then scratch the Bullitt intake idea. That sounds awful high to me, they must not want to sell too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boost-n-Juice Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 gears (atleast 410's), xpipe, catback, Turner dyno tune, all for about a grand. fuel pump and 150 shot and you have a decent weekend warrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckin Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 A bullitt intake is not needed.....If your running N/A get a good aftermarket plenum and TB combo. You'll do just as well w/ that as you will w/ a Bullitt for alot less money. This also aplies to Blower and spray cars....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
