Looking to get either the H&R cup kit and poly bushings all around or a 67mm TB and Predetor from Tom.
My suspension is shot right now, but dont really have a back up ride for the winter, so I dont want to get it that low for the winter. The tune would be real nice to help with the other mods I got done already.
I just dont know what to get :?

I looked on FF but couldnt find one. Do you know if I need to change my MAF with the bigger TB?

My other thought was to go with the FRPP Alum intake and 70mm TB
I'm going to get a turbo sometime :lol:

No point changing the MAF until you have the turbo and you can't change it wihout a custom tune anyways.

Theres also really not much reason to go to the 67mm tb without FI as the car can only pull so much air in while it's N/A.

Dont you have a 67mm TB on your car and you said it has great trottle response and more power :? but you need to get use to it.

Both steve and I have the stock stage 2 ported throttle body...There's definitely a difference, much more responsive and the power curve feels a lot more linear.

Seeing as the stock tb is 65mm, and steve can get you one for about $200, I don't see why you'd want to spend an extra $50 for the 67mm.

How soon were you planning on going FI? After all, if you go with a roots-type blower, the kits usually come with a new TB.

Well, if you're planning a turbo with more than 12psi, the ford racing manifold might be the best thing...stock svt manis tend to blow apart at higher boost.

How big is the ported TB?
And what do I all need to do to get the Alum intake to work on my car? Do I need to delete my cam senser and get it fully tuned cuz I will be deleting the duel plane intake aswell. :?

or the split port mani that i have sitting in my garge will work with some opening up. 8) also a flange will have to be fabed and welded on to work with the larger svt air hole thingy. 8)
