same, no real gains... i would look into halfshafting and polishing your existing throttle body, which can be done cheaply

I have the 70mm throttle body with a spacer...I plan for forced induction soon...but as for now..I really dont notice anything. The spacer makes a wistle sound at higher rpm's. It gets kind of annoying.

the spacer is pointless and a bigger TB without porting your intake is point less since it is still stock size.
Cricket found a site that sales ported TB's thats the way to do it I don't remember the site it was at you could pm him or he might be on later. They were only like 70-80 bucks.

www.rpm-mustangs.com got my ported, polished, and halfshafted throttlebody for $78 with shipping. Just waiting to get it. Also you really won't feel much of a different with a larger throttle body because they are not ported to work with your upper intake manifold. For you to feel a difference from it your gonna need a new upper intake manifold which you can get some from www.rpm-mustangs.com that are made to be ported up to the bbk 56 mm throttlebody for the 96-98 guys. I wouldn't know about the new edge, or what the prices are for yall, since I have a 98, but check them out. He is in this for making real power parts that work.

Justin with VMPtuning.com told me that he has not been able to prove any gains from a spacer and/or throttle body.
