On my 95 gt I had the lower mani ported and removed precats and went from 205 hp to 223. Stock tb and maf. Oh also replaced stock "intake tube" that had silencer removed and k&n for a cai but I'm pretty sure that that didnt contribute to any or much. I'm far from expert but I'm thinking that the tb isn't that big of a choke. But maybe when I finally do heads I'll grab a 65 or 70 so I can have more to list in signature. Edit: oh I lied, also the mufflers were new on the 95 for the new dyno. The original 205 horse had old flowmasters that had holes rusted in em.It will bolt up as stated, but will be a choke point, and minimize the intake swap gain. For a budget build, grab a 65MM TB off an explorer, and a 70MM from a 94-95 mustang GT.
A 95 maf will work on the fox w out tune? What's the difference just the diameter of the "tube" or do the wires send different signals? I'd need some kind of adapter to make it work wouldn't I?It will bolt up as stated, but will be a choke point, and minimize the intake swap gain.

Ah I hear ya but I've never really read anyone gain any on dyno. Most of the reports are something like, "The dyno didn't show any gain but I can tell I picked up "throttle response""An aftermarket intake with a stock TB is like watching standard definition TV on a brand new 60" 1080P LED TV. The nice parts don't do jack for you if you're not surrounding them with other nice parts.
Easy rule of thumb for intake manifolds: put the biggest TB on it that the opening will fit. Air=Power.

Hear ya. That's what I'm kinda planning but still not sold on throwin $200 or so at a new TB. I'm only planning a gt40 type build and the extra 1/2 horsepower isn't that concerning to me. On the other hand however, once you're in over $1500 what's another 200...?Your motor is only going to move so much air. As others have said, if you still have the restrictive heads and intake, you could throw on a 90MM TB and you won't see much difference. The HP gains come from using matched components.
Putting an aftermarket intake on with the stock heads, TB, and MAF is a waste of time and money. At a minimum, change out the TB and MAF. You may see 20-25 hp. If it were me, I'd wait until you are ready to swap heads so you do everything once. Ny the time you take off the intake, distributor, fuel rais, harnesses, TB, intake tube, etc. you only have to remove the A/C. PS, Alternator and brackets, valve covers, and then the heads come off. No sense replacing the intake and other gaskets twice.
