Default throttle body tips

what throttle body/shorty headers do you guys recommend. I would like to get a bigger throttle body, headers, 4:10 gears, and cams for my 05 GT.
on a side note. does anyone know of a performance shop in the northeast arkansas area that can do tunes?

keep the stock tb. a new tb won't do any good unless you are going FI. for shorties, bbk and jba seem to be the most popular.

I'm not sure if cams and LT's warrant a bigger TB but I doubt it. Quite a few here and on other forums have had issues with aftermarket TB's. But if you DO go with one, you'll need a new tune (but you'll need that anyway with your list of mods).

If it aint broke, dont fix it.
Aftermarket TBs are no gain in HP
unless the rest of the engine is up
to swallowing the increased flow.
Heads and cams before larger problemsome TBs.
They are just a bunch of
"I just installed a TB and I am throwing
codes left and right"
causing posts.
Most return to the stock TB.
