Throttle bodies = worthless paperweights, invest elsewhere.

well, the best bang for your buck as far as horsepower would be a split port swap with a windstar intake to top it off.
my 95 blew its heads so i tossed in a 99 3.8 it has 190 hp vs the 140 (+/-) that the 95 3.8 has. also could add gears... 4:10 for auto 3.73 for manual.
those two things made a world of difference for me.

Best advice. Also I agree with above statement of paperweight.


Bigger throttle bodies on these cars are completely useless unless your making ungodly amounts of boost. Which you wouldn't usually because at that budget you'd be building a different motor.

Ok cool thanks that helps me really since I am dying to get my pony some horse shoes, I'm going for the Staggered Bullitt Black Wheel & NITTO Tire Kit - 17x9/10.5 (94-98 All) which I can't wait to see her with her new shoes.

if you do the swap there are several how to's floating around...its not to bad really if your comfortable around and engine.

I do have a Mac cold air intake in her, is that the swap your referring too?

Or the swap with the throttle body? If the throttle body is just a waste of money then I will invest else where.
