5.0L (1979-1995) MustangTechnical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.
does it really hurt if you go 70 ... i mean most the time the difference is a few bucks... and wouldent it help later when he gets into more agressive mods..?
No it really dosent. I do not know why people freak out over 5mm. I would go with a 70mm. Especially since you plan on doing more upgrades in the future.
I'd say go with the 70mm b/c thats what the cobra intake is ported for. I'm trying to remember what my buddy had on his LX 5.0 but he gained a good deal of HP going from a 65-70mm TB, and i think it was before the heads and cam, but im not totally sure. Id say go with the 70mm and do the heads sooner than later. Better to not buy parts more than once if you can help it.
