A friend on mine has a 91 gt. The car is stock except for some flows and a k&n filter. WHat would be the best throttle body for a basicaly stock setup?

What would be the best size 65 , 70 , or 75. Also what brand should he go with?

Another question is on the intake. What would be a better intake for this same setup a Cobra intake or a Trickflow?

Any suggestions would be a great help.

Deffinately 65mm. I hear it can handle up to 400HP or something like that. As for the intake I would go with the Trick Flow.

I know this is not quite what you are asking, but....
GEARS, GEARS, GEARS!
If your friend can get them all at the same time, he would see a world of difference.
Or maybe get the gears instead of the intake.
Not what you were asking, I know.
But something to tell your friend.
Oh, and I like Trickflow as well.

that trick flow might be too big for the stock heads and cam.
I also vote GEARS. THen throttle body and EGR spacer.

if your friend plans to add more power in the future go 70, otherwise, go with a 65

i vote in keeping the stock throttlebody and spend the money elsewhere. subframes, gears, suspension, exaust. oh man! i could come up with TOO many things where id put the money.

If he is set with getting a TB and intake...than a 65mm TB(accufab or FORD RACING) and a GT-40 style intake are perfect for stock mustangs since they are torquey intakes...However, I would go ahead and get a mAF as well...it's an expensive way to add 15HP and there are better ways to spend the money on such as mentioned above...GEARS...

Click to expand...

65mm TB is a good size and will be plenty while allowing good low end throttle response...
