I am going to replace my throttle body and plenum on a 2003 GT. i was wondering what the best throttle body and plenum? I heard C&L and Accufab are good. What about the BBK setup? My motor is stock, i have catback exhaust, K&N filter and 3.73 gears. Are underdrive pulleys really worth buying?

When I first got my stang' the motor was stock and I went with a BBK throttle body and plenum. I also went with a K&N CAI set up. It def. added some power and made the exhaust a bit throatier. I'd say give BBK a try.

Most designs are similiar and have similiar gains. I went with Accufab as it's been tested to gain the most power, has the best quality, and looks the best - but it comes at a price. Still, I am very happy with it. At 3K RPMs plus, it really shines...

thanks for the info i know that accufab is good but it is costly. BBK are good and come as a package deal. You can get the throttle body and plenum for the price of an accufab plenum. Does underdrive pulleys make a difference? It doesnt hurt the engine at all does it?

Uderdrive pulleys will just shorten the life of your battery. If you go a long drives at night with your headlights on your battery might not have the voltage cracking power to start your car the next day. If you do drive long periods of time with your lights let your car ilde for a few minutes at the end of your journey with the lights off to get your battery voltage back up.

The brand wont really matter for the TB/Plenum. I have a Professional Products polished tb/plenum on the way for like $230 total. Most consider that brand crap, but its never from personal experience, just hear say.

You want the most gains, go with Accufab all the way, but it will cost you....

well i did some research and for the price i think that i am going to go with the BBK setup (75mm tb and plenum). Now as far as mass air sensors what size should i put in i have a stock motor, catback exhaust and a cold air kit and throttle body and plenum on the way. What would you guys recommend?

Listen dude, you DO NOT NEED all the mods you are considering!

TB and Plenum = waste of $
Larger MAF = absolute waste of $ for your car
UPD = hell no!

What is your budget and what kind of shape is your car in?

If you can tell me how much you have to spend I will be happy to give you my opinion on how to best spend it.

If you do a search, you will probably find that you should leave the stock maf alone.
