Well what I am shooting for right now is any of the following parts: Tuner, 4.10 gears, new cam, and a throttle body.

If you are going to do that go Gears, then cams (Port the heads @ the same time you do the cams....), then get a custom dyno tune.

ok fellas. quit saying a tb/plenum isn't worth it unless you get forced induction. i picked up a whopping 6RWHP from my tb/plenum when i put it on my car. as others have stated, it's for throttle response. you'll get a couple extra ponies, but nothing you're going notice.

Don't even waste your money on a throttle body and a plenum unless you are porting and polishing your intake or getting a blower. Get the tune and you will be happy you didn't waste that kind of money on that mod.

+1. Yeah my throttle response went way up and i feel it only really on the top end. It feels like the car breathes a little better. 2v mustangs seem to suffocate at high rpms. Yeah its pointless to get a TB w/o an UI. You're going 75 with the throttle body then back to 65 again with the stock UI. You're only bringing in as much air as your tightest point.

What's a UI? I'm guessing upper intake?
