Ok here is the deal, i have had a gt-40 intake almost as long as i owned my car, but have yet to put it bc, i haven't been able to afford to buy a new TB. I just recently got a new job and i am going to start saving for a TB. What TB do you guys run and how much and where did you get it from. I was thinking AccuFab. That is what my brother runs and he says he loves his. My top choices are Accufab, BBK, Ford, and Pro Products.

Oh and what size do you think i should run. i have nothing done to the car including no exhaust which will soon follow after the intake and tb.

Also, i have to a TB adapter. the cheapest one i have seen is the Pro Products one. Will that be Fine to use or should i pony up the extra cash and get thte one from Trick Flow.

from what i hear the trick flow throttle body adapter is the best one out there, and as for a throttle body i have heard mixed reviews on all of them, but would recommend the bbk, as i have never had any problems with it

I say get a BBK 70mm since the throttle opening on the GT40 is 70mm. You may lose a little low end torque but you'll gain top end HP. Plus if you are competing with your bro as most of us are, I am sure there will be plenty more mods to follow. I hear Accufab's are the Cadillacs of TB's but they are way over priced IMO.

I've been told that Accufab no longer makes TB for the 94-95 cars. I have a BBK 70 mm. Also, I'd use those $ to get the 3.73s. Believe me you will love them. Just One Man's Opinion. Peace.

Can i use the stock throttle body? I was under the impression that you could not use it. If i can i will do that.

Also, My brother doen't understand that i want other opions besides from his biased ones. Especially becasue he does not own a 94-95 and has no clue whats available like you guys do.

Plus if you are competing with your bro as most of us are, I am sure there will be plenty more mods to follow

As Far as competing with my brother, there is no chance in hell that i will be able to compete with him for a long time. Lets just say that the UPS man is here at least once a week with big boxes from summit. I don't even have exhuast yet.

stock will be able to go on there with the adapter. i would think all the adapters are very similar so the pro products one should be fine. i could understand wanting a trickflow adapter if you have a trickflow intake, but if it is not important to have all the name matching i think they all will do the job just fine.

For what it's worth, I've got a PP tb and I would look at some of the others first. It always feels like it sticks shut. You actually have to 'pop' the pedal to get it above idle when you leave a stoplight, or after you've been coasting, etc... It looks nice, and was cheap, but it was a pain to get it on (the bolt hole pattern didn't match my TFS elbow), and the sticking problem too. I suppose if I wasn't so busy with other crap I could deburr the edge of the blade and see if it helps, but I really don't want to fight to get it put back on.... Just my $.02

try adjusting the throttle screw. open the butterfly a tiny bit more and it wont stick.
