I would like to buy a new Throttle body to go with with explorer intake, but my first choice was a bbk 65 or 70mm. Then I was told that this brand wasn't quite that good. Honestly, I have no idea if this is true. Which one should I buy?

if you dont need a 70 dont get one. also the GT40E upper plenum isnt opened up for a 70mm you would have to port it some to get a 70mm to flow with it. BBK is fine, a stock ford 65 is fine also and probably cheaper

don't you have to modify the explorer throttle body linkage to work on a mustang?
