Default 99 Cobra BBK Throttle Body Question?

I just got a 99 Cobra, my first Ford Mustang, and I am trying to learn about the Throttle Body setup. The car has a Vortech V-2 SQ with aftercooler which was installed just before I got it. The vehicle still has the stock throttle body on it. I was looking at the BBK twin 62mm or 65mm throttle bodies and didnt know if anyone had any input on these as to which one I should get or another brand? Will I have to have the car tuned/programmed again after the install or will it just bolt on and go? New to this game and would appreciate any input. Thanks.

Thanks man, will I have to get the vehicle tuned again to adjust for the extra air intake? Will it change the ratio enough to mess with it? Thanks again.

the BBK is good, but David is right, ACCUFAB! It features a single blade instead of twin bores, which in my oppinion, and the laws of common sense, will flow a heck of a lot more air. I'd recommend getting a tune. Better safe than sorry. You never know how much a simple bolt on will do to a supercharged car.

the TB for the 99 is a twin blade. you will have to get your manifold modified to accept a single blade but this is a very cheap mod and is worth the money for the extra gain you will see from an accufab especially with a supercharged car
