larger throttle bodies

I have a 2014 gt and am looking at a larger throttle body. I am adding an SR CAI as well. what success if any, has anyone had going to a larger throttle body? has anyone seen the 10-15hp gains that AM says it will give?

Larger throttle body will do almost nothing for you. The stock Throttle body and intake manifold are good up to around 500+ HP at the crank before they become a bottle neck.

Also, if you still feel the need to upgrade it, get a FRPP one, don't waste your time or money on other brands. Other brands tend to have issues.

Spend your money on a tuner and aftermarket tune like from AM, Brenspeed, Lund or any of the other sponsors on here. Your power gains will be much more noticeable with no problems.

thanks! I have been looking at the 302 intake upgrade, a tuner and a roush exhaust which would make the throttle body basically a throw away once I upgrade the intake. the info is appreciated.

However, you'll see some small horsepower gains and definitely notice a big difference in throttle response. I also take my car to a lot of car shows so it looks great under hood!

You really see the gains from a Throttle Body when you start to get into power adders. If you were to Supercharge, Turbo or put a big Nitrous hit on your Coyote a throttle body is a must have in my opinion!

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions or need some assistance in the near future!

If you're looking at a throttle body and Boss intake you might also want to research the Cobra Jet intake.

From everything I've heard the CJ intake does everything better than the Boss including providing more low end torque.

Either way, if you decide to go ahead please check with me for prices, we can pretty much guarantee the lowest prices you'll find on any OEM or Ford Racing parts.
