Default Throttle body ideas?

I have a throttle body and plenum that came off of a 96 GT. I have read on here in a post that in 01.5 the Throttle body size dropped in size somewhat for the romeo motors.

Anyone think there would be a benefit from putting this 96 throttle body/plenum on my 2003 GT?

The 96 throttle body also came with a Helix throttle body spacer and a Helix plenum spacer, anyone know anything about these?

anyways... just doin some thinkin.........

No, it will not do you any good... I wouldn't think they changed size of the TB since 96-98 motors are romeo as well.

Throttle body spacer is another way to get people to spend there money. That was the thing back in the day when you had a carburator. They worked great for that back then but on the new aged engines you might as well just give me the money your going to spend on it cuz you won't even notice its there! They make great boat anchors as well.
