can i install an aftermarket throttlebody and mass air on 5.0 without any other mods and if so whats a good size to start with

CantStopTheFox...

You "can" install whatever you want.....but Throttlebody and MAF are not the places to start on a stock motor

The best bang for the buck to start off with is a set of Gears.......A set of 3.73s or 4.10s will definitely give you a big smile when you take her out for the first time.....

Here is a good link to get you started on your mods:

Gears would be the best mod but you did not ask that. Go with a 70 mm BBK TB and a 73 or 75mm MA. Make sure the ma is for your injectors. Onstang i used to have i did the simple ma and tb first but could not tell a difference. I decided to install my own gears a couple of months later and they were worth the money and trouble i had installing them since they were my first gear install.

It'd be a waste....spend the money elsewhere and when you do an h/c/i do those upgrades
