Default Throttle Body

Good morning everyone.

I'm curious as to what this is and what it does. I see that MT has one from BBK ( http://www.mustangtuning.com/bbk-62m...body-05gt.html ) but I don't understand/know enough about a Throttle Body to gauge the pros/cons of getting this as an upgrade.

With your car the absolute FIRST mod that you need is a handheld tuner. Go with SCT or Diablosport. The computer is holding back ALOT.

The Throttle Body will give you better throttle response and maybe a tiny bit of topend power. Its not really worth it to me. I know that a whole intake elbow/TB on 99-04 GTs will only gain like 5whp. :wallbash:

05 GT mods are: Tuner, Gears, Intake, and Exhaust. If you want more power than that then youll be better off just buying a supercharger.

deffiantly do a intake and a tuner. The TB is not needed at your power level and will give little results.

I appreciate your replies and input. I'm not quite ready for a gear change, so I think it's gonna be the JLT C.A.I., SCT X-Calibrator 2, and SLP LoudMouths.

Thanks again guys.

good choice of mods, but remeber this the SLP is loud and if you wanna run a off-road h-pipe or x-pipe its gonna be stupid loud. Think of that before hand.

Serious dude, if you have not considered gears you should start.

you can have them purchased, installed, and done for under 500 if you shop around.
You will NOT find ANY other mod for that price that will give you more speed than gears. Serious. Dont fear the gear.

If yer worried about warranty issues, just dont tell em. Even if they crack open the rear they are gonna have to take a good long look to see there is a different set of gears.

DONT FEAR THE GEAR!!!!

When buying and going with a tuner, should you also buy a chip at the same time ? Or is the tuner alone the first step? Mark M

a tuner and or chip do the same thing, they alter the stock computer settings to add more timing fix the a/r fuel along with a ton of tother things i dont wanna get into. Its either you get one or the other, or in the case of the 05-06 cars you can only get a tuner for the car you cant add a chip to it.
