Default Throttle body or no?

Was thinking about picking up a TB, maybe SR performance. My mods are listed in my sig, but ill list them here anyway.. Lt headers, catted X, axlebacks, CAI and tune. I remember posting somewhere about this a while ago but I think it was before my exhaust was complete. Should I go for it? Would I see a good gain?

No it's for cars that are modified heavily

An upgraded throttle body starts to become most noticeable with full bolt-ons, like your GT. You'll see a better throttle response and a bit more power on the high end of the power curve with one.

If you plan to add cams or boost to your Mustang in the future, the new TB will continue to show more gains. I'd think about what you want out of the car and go from there on your decision!

Hit me up if you have any other questions or concerns.

If you are set on a throttle body get a ford racing throttle body, but IMO you should save your money.

NO.. Every other week one of these threads come up, search it. You will see pages and pages of NO WAY they are paper weights and only need to upgrade if FI... Not even wasting time saying more. Search and read the dozens of pages saying the same thing

Any TB that requires you to swap parts from yours isn't worth the hassle! I have the frpp 62mm and it's been hassle free, because it's a complete unit.

Save you cash for cams or a blower, those are worth the money spent.
