RE: throttle body

Dont waste your time, get a 70 or 75MM throttle body. 65MM aftermarket throttle body is just as useless as stock.

RE: throttle body

upgrade the plenum at the same time that you add a 70mm or 75mm throttle body. Accufab makes a really well put together kit.

RE: throttle body

Im new here aswell and basically have no knowlege of mechanics. Which would be the best choice of throttle body / plenum for a stock 03 GT.

RE: throttle body

a 70mm throttle body is fine for naturally asprirated applications and so is 75mm for that matter. That being said...75mm is better for cars with some type of forced induction. FRPP, BBK, MAC, accufab, professional products...all good products as far as plenum/throttle bodies.
