You can get the tb/plenum combo for about 440. I am still using my K&N drop in filter until i have enough to upgrade to a densecharger. I am not sure if you can use the same inlet tubing if you use the 75mm tb, it was a tight fit (PITA) on my 70mm.

The inlet tubing fits the 75mm if you shave the inner lip as I did. Worked out fine.

Though a week later I got a new C&L trueflow fit perfect for 106 shipped.

parkway ford on ebay.

very nice gains

with the dragon and 75mm.. no low end loss. It did loose some low end in hp and tq with the 70mm.

that is for the Dragon only the accufab gained down low with the matching 70mm tb.

The 75mm will fit as well, as this is the setup that I have..but you're right.. it's a BIG PITA...very tight fit...I used a little soapy water and opened the screw in clamp as far as it would go... eventually it slipped on...

WD-40 baby. Put a little on my finger and ran it around the lip.

so if you are going to stay n/a then it is better to get a 70mm TB than a 75mm TB??

6 in one hand or 1/2 dozen in the other.. I don't think it makes much difference.

I stayed with the 75mm after the testing becuase the car made more total HP with it on. I may go Vortech someday, and that was another reason to keep the 75mm TB.

now i have a dillema with the 70mm and the 75mm

Yes this is what I have heard. Mildly modded= 70, More modded 75. Some choose to go with the 75 anyway mildly modded and suffer some low end torque loss compared to a 70mm until they get more mods. Check out Matt's plenum test on modulardepot and you can see the dynos for each combo. Keep in mind that Matt has a 2003 Mustang GT and has BBK Long Tube Headers, BBK X Pipe, Magnaflow Catback. Where as I only have a borla cat back and a 98 mustang gt. So my numbers would most likely not be as good with a 75mm as his. If I had LT's and an Xpipe I might have gone with the 75.
If I supercharge I will definately go 75,

EXACTO-MUNDO! I AM PLANNING ON GETTING A PRO-CHARGER...SO, I OPTED FOR THE 75MM T/B & PLENUM..

PS Thanks To Matt for all your work in testing those tb and plenum combos. Made my decision a lot easier.

 

[GreekStang85]

im staying n/a and planning to go heads, and cams in the future so i might go for the 75mm TB

 

[slvrbullIT]

i just ordered my 70mm accufab throttle body!! im getting the plenum next week too.

I'm perfectly aware. I was just refuting his statement that 75mm t/b's make you loose low end torque with aftermarket plenums. If i were to buy the accufab plenum I'd probably get the 70mm t/b too.
