RE: frpp throttle body
I just installed a 70MM FRPP TB, and it was the easiest thing in the world to install. Took, I think, about 5 minutes total, and that was because I had to stop and scratch my butt for 3 minutes. Easiest install ever.

I installed the Mac 75mm t/b and it took no time at all either. And as far as takeing off and reinstalling the TPS was no problem, and I did not have to recalibrate anything. Bolted everything up and drove away, and noticed a great difference!!! Good luck!!!

RE: frpp throttle body
I have a Ford Racing 70mm throttle body with the Accufab plenum and love the set-up. They are so easy to install. I did both plus taking out my air silencer in just about 30 minutes. If you have any kind of miles on your Stang and decide to install a new plenum, it may be worth your while to also install the IAC at the same time as it has been known to cause problems. You have to transfer the old one off your stock plenum anyway so why not install a new one instead. I did and it only added another couple of minutes to the install. Ford's replacement part in now partially chromed and looks hot for around $99. The nice thing about the FR throttle body is all the sensors are included. Everything is new. Buy any other throttle body and you have to transfer your old sensors over. Why not have ALL new with your throttle body instead.
One bit of advice when working around the throttle body/plenum area, only use a 1/4" drive rachet. You are dealing with smaller brass-type bolts and aluminum parts. Too much torque can really screw things up. You can possibly distort and/or crack your new parts if you overdo it.
