Throttle Bodies

JBake · October 29th, 2006, 11:16 PM

Im looking for a throttle body for my 1998 V6, but the only one i canfind that's direct replacement is a 56mm. are there any TB's that are bigger and bolt-on, or if not, then what about an easy modded fit?

what kinda hp and mods do you have? if your pretty much stock..dont even waste your money on the TB. you'll see very minimal gains

Stock...
but the thing is that im focusing on one section at a time. Im looking to redo the induction system in whole (TB, CAI, and Hi-flow).

you would need to port and polish the intake manifold to benefit fully from any TB. you should consider halfshafting your stock TB for the interim

already planned on that...
you can get one at Redlined Performance Mustangs, but would it be cheaper to do that myself?

if you are not purchasing a new upper intake manifold from someone like supersixmotorsports, p&p at a local shop will be far cheaper than mailing yours off to be done by rpm-mustangs- i have had poor business with those folks in the past as well.
