throttle body question
 
can you put a "v8 throttle body" onto a v6 mustang with a cold air intake?
i want to upgrade my throttle body but all they have on AM for a v6 is 56mm but i want a bigger one

You don't need a bigger one, in fact unless you run boost or get a cam/head upgrade there is no need for a TB at all really.

i heard the 4:10 gears are a badass upgrade, what all do you need to get to put them in? you just gotta buy the gears and have someone put them in?

unless you don't really care about seeing how fast your really going you'll need to get a tuner or if your strapped for cash a speed calibrator for 99$ on am

For 4.10s the best route to go, is the gears -250 differential -300 Tuner -500 bearing kit -50 fluids -50 and install 100-300 depending on shop.

Alright, I'm just going to throw you under the bus now instead of later..."free tunes for life" not on a dyno, means shit. You ever throw a cam, stroke it, forced induction of any sort you'll be paying a few hundred to sit on a dyno and make sure that the packaged tune they gave you isn't a POS.

I went through Justin over at VMP who is probably THE BEST v6 tuner in the nation, and still sat on a dyno at a reputable tuner, who Justin taught, for 5 hours...

"Free tunes for life" is a bit over hyped. The fact that 99% of tuners out there use SCT programming, it retains three different tunes, aside from stock, and the datalogging (which isn't as good as diablos) is the reason why you spend $379 over the sniper tuner or the superchips tuner ect, ect.

Don't want to jump ass or anything, just giving people this false sense of security with their cars irritates the shit out of me with anyone.
