05-09 Mustang GT, Is It Worth Upgrading the Throttle Body/Adding a Spacer

[emichael]

i've read lots of posts where people say that the stock throttle body is just fine for the 05-09GT, and that getting an aftermarket throttle body isn't worth the money.. what's the difference between the stock one and the aftermarket one? and i've also seen a throttle body spacer, but is that something that you get instead of the throttle body or you can get both? because if you get it instead, it seems pretty cheap and claims 10hp/tq gains.. now i know you can't go by those gains but its less than 100 bucks so why not?

waste of money for hp. but it does look cool so if you want some bling... the spacer i would not do personally..

i have a bbk throttle body. i got it very cheap or would not have sprung for it... throttle response did improve slightly.. makes a cool whistle.. looks better than stock one..

if you wanna kill 2 birds with one stone just buy a gt500 throttle body conversion it uses a spacer to reset the holes and is 60mm to give you better throttle response it aso comes with new electronics so you dont have to screw with anything else

Yes! header or a supercharger

haha i'd love a supercharger but i think i'll have to wait til i graduate college and make some real money =/ although i probably could have bought some kooks headers with the money i spent on fixing up my bedroom last summer with a 47" LCD tv and a new xbox lol

the quest for a supercharger will never end, and once you get it, you'll want to mod 10 other things lol
