Throttle Body Question.

[slave4thestang]

I am used to carburetors, plain and simple. Can you put to big of a throttle body on a fi 5.0?

Nope, but there is a point where bigger won't do anything for you...especially if the intake is small.



Really depends on the entire combo.

thanks, just wanted to make sure.

Just port match your intake and go from there. If you're running boost, bigger is better. Without it, a 90 mm TB (just an example) won't give you the performance a 75 mm unit would. The air just won't move as quickly.
