65mm power plus TB or 65mm Accufab? And what size MAF will suit me best?

There are no Accufabs for our cars left (new anyway)
PP are :notnice: Your choices are FRPP or BBK (the one I have)

70mm TB and a 76mm c&l or a 80mm pro m

do NOT get a 70mm TB unless you have a Power Adder.

do NOT get a C&L or the 75mm bullet.

Prom 77 or Prom 80 (less $) are fine and can grow!

i always considered 75mm tb if you have a power adder. .


Youve ALWAYS considered???

Youre 17, how long is ALWAYS for you??? :shrug:

Search around and read...there are plenty of people making gobs of power with only 65mm TB..

There are numerous old issues of the Mustang Mags that show WORSE numbers with the 70 and 75mm TB's in "typical" street Setups.
70mm is NOT too big,

70 is TOO big unless you get a power adder.

i need a polished TB, anyone make them other than power plus and accufab?


Joe and I got the BBK's for $179, and spent $40 to polish only the upper (visible) half at a local polishing shop...Came out pretty nice.

Not the best close up pic, but you can see it here next to the other stuff

I'd go with 65. I have a 65mm TB without any kind of H/C/I and after joining these boards I've learned that that is overkill. If I could do it over again I would have stayed with the stock 60mm and spent my money on something more productive, as I don't plan on doing h/c/i for a while.

YES, and one more thing I would add is that just because you go SC or Turbo, does not AUTOMATICALLY mean that you have to go above 65.

You could slap a Vortech on a stock mustang and still make good power with the stock TB..

Sorry dude, but thats 100% WRONG :) Ed Curtis told me to get a 75mm TB for my little all motor stock shortblock 302, no offense, but i'd take what he has to say over you when it comes to dialing in my combo :) As stated, go 70mm TB for your car, juiced95..

man, reading over this thread makes me glad I race my car, not internet race :nonono:
 
Id go with 65mm tb as I didnt notice aftermarket heads in your sig.... 70mm is not to big at all if you had a good set of heads.. I ran a 70mm on my 302 and put down 315rwhp, 342tq and never had a problem with it.. Pro-M 80 for the mass air. Id consider the 70mm TB if a good set of heads are in your future.

I appreciate the "friendly" disagreement.

BTW...isnt Ed Curtis also a "SALESMAN"?

Anyway, it's not what "I SAY" it's what I have seen in Dyno tests in about 6-7 issues of Mustang Mags including one in 1998 on our cars ( I read it last year waiting in a performance shop).
In that article, on a car with full exhaust, the 65mm TB had like a 2HP increase over stock, and the 70 and 75 both lost HP when compared to stock. That is the only article that I remember EXACT results.

Also, find me me 5 guys in this 94/95 Forum with 75mm TB's and post their combos.

IMO, a large TB is the biggest waste of money and probably one of the most overrated upgrades on our cars :flag:

I have a 75mm on mine... and as far as ed curtis being a salesman he could have sold him a 70mm or 65mm just as easily. In the article what was done to the motor they were sticking these throttle bodies on?

Thanks Guys
