Underdrive pulley installation
I decided I will get a new TB and UDP. The installation on the UDP looks like it could be a little confusing, and I will have to go buy some tools. I just dont want to take it to a shop, and reviews said it could be hard to install. Are there any tips when installing the pulley? I have a 2010 manual gt, and I will be getting the Steeda ones.
Also, with the frpp TB this becomes a little expensive. Does anyone have a coupon for american muscle?

I wouldn't buy the throttle body.
Underdrive pulleys are easy to install. Go rent a pulley puller from Advance or Autozone. I rented a puller from Advance that had a short enough nose I didn't even need to remove the radiator. Beyond that the most difficult part was getting the stupid arms on the puller to sufficiently grip and stay on the factory crank pulley.

Thanks for the feedback.
About the TB, ive always heard mixed views on weather or not to get it. I dont plan on supercharging it or anything, but I will probably cam it in the future and thats it. I know TB is minimal gain, but every little bit adds up. Im not really 100% sure if I want to spend the money on it.

Good decision on not getting the TB. The TB and Ignition Coils on these cars are some of the few parts that are better than any of the aftermarket products that are available.
If you want an upgrade to the TB down the road, get a FRPP (Ford Racing) one. It's essentially a GT500 TB and will be as reliable as the one from your GT.

I'd only get a TB if you've given up on cleaning the stock one.
I've heard the FFRP one isn't as problematic as the BBK, jusut don't expect any gains, and if you've got your TB so gunked up you can't clean it then might as well.
if its not gunked up then don't do it.
