Default Throttle Body & EGR

Hogging out the stock upper intake to 70mm from 60mm, replacing the stock EGR Spacer and Throttle Body w/ 70mm and replacing stock MAF (55mm) with a C&L 76mm, question is... which throttle body and EGR brand would you choose.... NOT BBK! I'm thinking Edelbrock's TB/EGR Combo for $269 @ Dallas Mustang. But what about Accufab, Ford Racing, Holley? Any experience with these? I'm do not want a polished finish and need 70mm. Thanks in advance [8D]!

What Fel Pro Gasket do guys get the upper/lower joint ported/polished to? Thanks

Ya I dont think you can go wrong with the accufab! I have the polished egr spacer and its fit and finish are perfect! I have the c&l mam also and have no troubles, mines an 80mm.

I have no experience with Accufab but I have also heard nothing but good things. I will have experience though very soon since I plan on getting their 70mm TB & EGR combo. They come in a polished finish too so Im not sure if you will like that but they look very good. Anyway, you can get them from on3motorsports.com for like $165 shipped to your door

LoL I dont consider accufab TB's bling though, I think they look really good and from what I understand they also perform well well with no issues.
