Default Underdrive pullies and larger throttle body!!!

I was just wanting to see if anybody knew about how much hp i would gain with puttin underdrive pullies and a larger throttle body (70mm) on my car... so far my car ('93 LX 5.0 H.O.) has a K&N cold air intake, 3:73 gears, and Mac cat-back exhaust.... im thinking the next mods i wanna make are underdrive pullies and the 70mm throttle body... anybody know??? thanks

U/D's are great, but you'll be hurting at idle unless you've done an alternator upgrade...

the 70mm tb is too big for your motor and under drives will get you 2-4hp

go a 65mm Accufab throttle body...70mm is too big for your application right now, and most likely for awhile... As for the pullies, the tuner guy at The Mustang Shop here in Calgary has dyno proven 11 horse to the wheels, (which definitely blew my mind) A good upgrade for cheap
