Exclamation Need help on Throttle bodies

Has anyone installed the larger 65mm throttle bodies on a 05-09 Mustang GT? If so are they worth the money (performance wise)? What are some of the best brands? Does your engine light come on?


Thanks

No they're not worth it unless you're pushing EXTREME boost.

...or have mods on a N/A engine which require more air. And even then, it's iffy...

The stock TB flows 870 CFM.
No way you can exceend that in mostly stock trim. If your boosting with a positive displacement blower then a monoblade 130 mm is the best choice.
The dual 65 mm is barely bigger than stock not worth it for a blown motor.
