The Ford OEM TB is pretty good.
In fact, its the 'best' for up to 500WHP.
You can pick one up at your local Stealership.
Other than that, aftermarket TBs are a royal
pain in the **** DTC throwers. If you do go
aftermarket, I would suggest you keep the OEM
TB in the trunk with the tools needed to reinstall
it when the aftermarket TB leaves you stranded.

Latest MM&FF Magazine has another pimp piece about swapping a BBK TB onto a TVS blown GT500. I think that gets people thinking that, "Well, if it's a restriction there...". BBK, Granatelli, etc. are glad to fan those flames by making claims like "10hp gain over stock!".

Sigh.

Save your cash, buy something else...like a car cover (it's good for about the same HP increase :-)
