ahh thats right. I would say it should help out quie a bit than. Since u already have the intake manifold not having a larger maf has prolly been restricting your intake. Let us know how it goes when u put it on. I am sure u will be happy.

My car is MAF, but just for fun one day when i was on the dyno, i put the stock TB on to compare to my new 70mm, and I saw absolutly zero change in any aspect. But I dont know jack about speed density

New Mustang Owner here. I have an 89 gt convt. First and only engine mod a K&N Ford Motorsports FIPK. SO I should not look into getting a larger TB, or MAF?

If I were to get either, or both can you point me in the direction of examples, and sizes of what I want?


What is my stock TB size? Thanks and sorry for my ignorance!

1--make sure the air silencer is removed from the passenger side fenderwell
2--get a 75-76 MAF first, then 65mm TB (don't go larger since you are nearly stock)
3--stock MAF=55mm, stock TB=60mm
4--just for future reference, more people might see your question if you started a new thread for it.
