Default New Stang...throttle body Question

I just picked up an '03 gt with 15,000 miles!!! its was bone stock but since ive put a BBK CAI on and thinking about adding an Accufab 70mm throttle body and Plenum. Just wondering if this is a good mod and if there is anything to do besides just bolting it on. Do you have to adjust the idle speed and if so how.

you will probably have to adjust the tps sensor and the idle speed. its a decent mod, maybe a bit pricey for what you get but you do get an increase.

you should be able to do it, its pretty easy. you'll need a digital volt meter and some hand tools. the tps can be a real pain to losen up.

Why only 70mm? Get the 75 dude. I don't think it costs any more than 70mm.
