Throttle Body/Intake Combo???
i am looking to buy the trick flow track heat intake manifold for my mustang, the upper and lower...it says 75mm throttle body inlet..does this mean i need a 75mm throttle body??? can i use my stock one? and hwo baout vise versa if i did stock intake and 75mm throttle body so i could re use the throttle ody when i get the trick flow?? any downsides to a tb? should i also get pullies? i don thitnk they do much, but anything helps

dont listen to him! the pullys work good, and the throttle body will all bolt up the 75mm is the size of the air flow, but unless you have upgraded your injectors your mass air meter and your induction?, dont go above 70mm might even wanna use a 65mm
just remember the bigger the throttle body the less responce and power you will make unless you have the mods that accompany the throttle body, id use a 65mm, 70mm tops, use the bbk power plus throttle body set, iv used alot and i like this one the best

You will not lose power by going with a larger TB. It just makes the gas pedal touchier.
A 75 mm opening does not mean you need a 75 mm TB. Just that it will accept that TB diameter without having to dremel.
Pullies will gain you power, but they have some drawbacks. A little less cooling and less idle speed for the alternator. This is not good for accessories...

Track Heat, X-Cam, stock heads, ? (this is what your signature indicates) This is not a good combination, for a lack of better terms, it's a recipe for a turd. Whatis your plan for heads?

[sm=WTFsgign.gif]Maybe a 60mm would make more power because it would increase velocity? [sm=WTFsgign.gif]
