need advice on throttle bodies
I just bought my first mustang that is all stock except for long tube headers and i'm going to put a trick flow street upper and lower intake and a stage 1 cam and i was wondering which throttle body i should get 65mm or 70mm and should i get the cheaper one on ebay or get a bbk and also do i need to get a egr spacer and please fill me in on what else i would need. thanks

RE: need advice on throttle bodies
here is a suggestion...get the edelbrock performer 2 manifolds. i was going to go with the TF but i decided to go with edelbrock. the TF is a 75mm TB and the edelbrock is 70mm. i try not to buy stuff off ebay unless i have done alot of research first...but i have bought alot from there...price match summit with jegs and get a TB. i bought a 70mm bbk tb and it seems alright...i got some bbk headers and cold air intake and there are welding beads and little imperfections inside the tubes...i dont like the idea of that much. some like bbk some hate it. ill find out once i get my setup together. order through jegs or summit...they have great customer service and if you have a problem they will do all they can to help you.

I would go 70mm, the Trick Flow has a 75mm opening. I have no experience with ebay t- bodies, but I wouls say they are just as good. Yes you need an egr spacer to go with the t- body. In my opinion I would go Track Heat instead.

Your mods would run similar to my setup, I have a tfs street head intake with 65mm tb and spacer and it made a huge difference especially in low end and mid range torque. Once I put that on I had horrible traction issues.

so i should go with a 65mm because i don't want to lose any low end torque also what brand do you prefer? i have already ordered the street intake and stage 1 cam so changing that is not a option.
