If you're doing mild mods, keep your stock throttle body.

Yea, the throttle body isnt the weak link in your induction system, its your mass air meter and air box mostly. With no more air than your stock heads and intake can flow, a bigger throttle body *might* give 2 hp on a NA motor, and you wont get that until about 5.5k rpm or so I bet. <edited><editID>mdvaldosta</editID><editDate>37902.5183101852</editDate></edited>

just get that new C&amp;L upper intake plenum. I ordered that, w/my 70mm throttle body. I ordered the C&amp;L 85mm M.A.M. kit as well. They will work well together, but if u aren't going to do all that, then leave the TB alone

Larger tb can sometimes hurt performance if you dont have the mods to support it and it has been documented in various dyno tests. The reason being is that it can slow your air velocity. Even with my s/c I only gained 6RWHP on 7psi boost.

[QUOTE=GSXRIntensity]


If you want my opinion of what ranks in importance, it all depends on the pocket. How I purchased my goods were like this:</P>


1st: Eibach Pro-kit 1.5in drop. Good to clean up that wheel gap, &amp; high enough not to have to worry about Caster Camber plates.</P>


Yes u do need Caster camber plates, ur front tires will start getting worn out faster and on the outer edges even with the pro kit, and if u do lower it definetly get shocks/struts, Bilstein sports being the best i think, thats what i did, oh i also added a steeda bushing set, car handles like on rails, next would be Upper and lower control arms with a panhard bar. <IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0"></P>

2002 Stang GT,ive heard that caster cambers weren't necessary with the pro kit. Did you wait about two weeks after you put the kit on to get an alignment? Thats interesting cause im planning to get the pro kit and keep getting told I shouldn't need CC's.

You only need CC's if you run out of adjusting on during the alignment. 1.5" is borderline.
