I have been looking at the throttle body plenum combos for awhile now and the one I want is the bbk 78mm throttle body but I know that these are more so used on supercharged cars and don't really benefit lighted modded mustangs. From my understanding the 70mm throttle body's are the best option for lightly modded mustangs, but BBK just come out with a 73mm throttle body intake that I am very curious about, does anyone no anything about this throttle body and would this benefit my car more so than a 70mm throttle body. I know a lot of you are going to tell me to stay away from the throttle body and just save for a blower or turbo but I can really spend that type of money right now and I am just fine with basic bolt on's. So do any of you have any info on this new BBK 73mm throttle body I am very curious thanks.

I am going to tell you to save your money.....but now for a blower. Save your money for a gear swap. A gear swap is, by far, the best bang-for-the-buck

The previous owner of my stang spent $1200, but it was a complete rear end rebuild with new track-loc and he had gears installed while they were in there.

On my fox body I think is spent $75 on a set of used 3.15 ford racing gears, and I think about $140 on a trac-loc rebuild kit plus gear oil and did it in the garage in a day. I had help from some one pretty knowledgable tho.
