by itself, true, as Is with most mods for the v6... not saying you should buy a v8, but picking mods that work with eachother can give you one bad sixer. grab yourself a cheap CAI and <3 the better throttle response...

You wont see much of anything. You need alot more mods before you need that. If you are gonna get supercharged soon, then do gears instead. If yours not get gears anyhow as they are one of the best bang for buck mod besides nitrous there is.

It will probably give you a good response with a decent CAI. I had a V6 and I bought some POS CAI and I still felt a noticeable response on it. Your only going to be looking @ like 3-4 hp with the TB alone.

i bought a Unintercooled Vortech 2 years ago for 1500$ (injecters and fuel pump included) for 1500$

and i bought a procharger 11psi 3 core IC for 1600$ a year ago.


Just go on v6power.net and 3.8mustangs.com and check the for sale section every now and then.

Ok, BBK claims thier TB will give you 4 more HP. I think the most noticeable change would be maybe slightly improved throttle response. prob not worth it until you go FI or your stuck at 199 at the dyno and have to have 200. Some people feel you just don't need it at all (tealbeast).

I've been thinking of purchasing the accufab TB & plenum. I have an 03 GT with CAI, X-pipes, lo backs, and come Wed 4.10's and X-CAL 2 w/ tune.
Do you think I'd notice any difference with the TB & plenum?
In a couple months I'm moving to GA (no emmisions), and will be dropping the CATS and adding heads.

this is v6 tech. But tb and plenum are good bolt ons for cheap on mod motors. Just odnt pay 300-400 bucks on something that only give maybe 8 hp.
