Wait what???75mm is too big for a stock 5.0. You'll lose alot of lowend power and it won't "hit" til later on in the powerband.
i have a BBK 70mm and it's still too big. It screams once it gets to ~3k rpms. I noticed more power in the upper rpms and WAY better throttle response. I want a 65mm though.
It lags until 3k. I hate it. Doesn't make my car fun on the street. It's a DD and I don't like itWait what???
You miss your power before 3000 rpm? why?.... Are you towing trailers? ....
okThen buy a Pick up truck
I'd say an explorer intake with matching 65mm tb and as large as possible maf meter calibrated to your stock injectorsI've been wondering about the MAF/TB combo. For a stock 5.0, what's the recommended combo. No bigger injectors, or anything else to add more power.
I have power below 3k. Just not as much as I did with the stock TB. After putting the 70mm on, it feels like it holds back some before 3k then it launches like its spooling lol. But I did notice a loss. I know if I port matched my upper it would be alot better and smoother. 70mm tb with a 55mm opening on the intake is ftlJust a thought, if you have no power below 3k RPM, you might want to check your timing.
Just a thought.
I did a TB/Plenum on my 4.6 and felt nothing., 5.0 is different though. It responds better to mods.
Most people think they can throw on parts and not tune ....I have power below 3k. Just not as much as I did with the stock TB.

no problem, tfs normally makes good stuff but not sure if someone else makes there tbs and just rebrands it or not. I've actually had good luck with the cheap polished professional products tb's believe it or not. Stay away from bbk/edelbrock tb's. They are junk and whistle like crazy as wellok thanks ryan does trickflow make a good throttle body or no? there kinda cheap....
I totally agreeMost people think they can throw on parts and not tune ....
Add some timing lower in the rpm and all that power will come back.
Mine doesn'tStay away from bbk/edelbrock tb's. They are junk and whistle like crazy as well
Kinda weird because I know people who have run a 70mm on a stock intake but port matched the intake and it smoothed out the acceleration after. And it was doing the same thing as mine before the porting.Most people think they can throw on parts and not tune ....

mine did.. it's been known for along time now that it's common with bbk/eddy tb's. They eventually suggested drilling a tiny hole in the tb buttefly to help the situation. Do a search for it on corral.net if you want. bbk's quality control blows just look at there ssi intakes for exampleMine doesn't

Tapering the inlet of the intake to the throttle body so there is no turbulence.Really have no clue what you are saying...
