Is a aftermarket throttle body worth it
Ok, new mustang owner here. 2005 Mustang GT.sonic Blue.automatic did the following MODS
GT 350 striping
Mustang singnature vinyl
Visus Aluminim Rear window louver
C+L CAI with Excalibrator 2 tune....THANKS FRED AT EVOLUTION
Borla Exhaust system
well the tune and all done, it sounds great, runs strong, shifts allot better (Chirps 2nd and 3rd at WOT)
looking at adding a aftermarket throttle body......Granatelli, BBK, Loki???
a) is it worth it???
b) will I notice much more of a gain, or is pulleys the way to go now
c) if so, who makes the best throttle body......
will I need to get a new retune after the throtle body is installed???
any assistance would be appreciated
also looking at adding ram air hood, roushe wheels....(Local ford has a great deal on them with tires only 2K
thanks all

Gear design is a problem and will send codes more often than not.

You will get more gains out of your fake GT350 stripes. Personally, I wouldn't have either.
