Honestly, I would call accufab and ask if they plan on coming out with a TB for the 05+ cars anytime soon. It would be worth the wait.

I haven't heard any reviews for the 05 BBK TB's, and they might work great..... but I know just a lot of Mach owner that installed a BBK TB and hated it....The quality wasn't very good and had problems with the throttle being stiff and cruise control not working very well. Accufab is by far the best TB.....a little more expensive, but way better.

on the flip side many people have installed them on 99-04 GT's and haven't had any issues, but do some research on several forums before getting one.

Just my lame 2 cents

Ive also heard the horror stories with BBK's throttle bodys, and thats why I chose accufab. Its a pre-order anyways so you might as well wait out for an accufab.

There has to be something going on with those particular TB. If you check the BBK site, they don't list a TB for 05/06. Another site that I saw the same part on had no price, so I emailed them. And found out they were having problems with some gearing or actuation and since the new models are electronically controlled thus throwing off all the computer readings.

I myself, plan to hold off to see how its resolved. And if someone else comes out with one, great.

But I was told that they (MT)has sold a few and have had no complaints. That leaves me a little weary.

Here is a thread I submitted asking.

You be your own judge.
Let me know what you do and how it turns out.

Got a quick reply from Accufab. Dam, a couple of hours.

They said, when asked if they plan to have TB for 05/06 soon.

"Referring to the 06 Mustang GT, right? Yes, very soon."
