I'm looking at picking up one of these, but I read somewhere that you wouldn't really see much gain from an aftermarket TB unless your blown.
Anyone have any input on this?

Anderson Ford Motorsports claims the Dragon Plenum is the best they've tested. StangPro will tell you that the Accufab and Dragon are the better plenums in their testing. If you do a search, you will find lots of guys who've used the Dragon Plenum, and are happy with the results. As for the throttle body, the throttle body isn't the "gateway" sort of to speak for power, and as DMBSTNG infomred you, your stock throttle body is pretty much a 70mm throttle body as it is, so if you're going to invest the extra money into a throttle body, you might as well get a 75mm throttle body, but don't expect to see any real extra power gains from the addition of the throttle body. You may see another 1 or 2rwhp in the higher rpms of your power band, but that is about it. If you're getting a blower in the future, then yeah, you want the 75mm throttle body.Enter Username said:I'm looking at picking up one of these, but I read somewhere that you wouldn't really see much gain from an aftermarket TB unless your blown.

I think some of that power you gained, if not most of it was from the tune. Unless if you gained that power before the tune, then got a tune following it.GoofNOff said:Get a 70mm TB while you're at it. I got 14hp and 8ft lbs after install. I got the car dyno-tuned and chip done as well after the install. It's not much but it help with other mods as you go.
You must have a numb ass in the seat in your pants.stng said:Well I dont have any dyno #'s but I installed the Dragon Plenum an accufab 70 mm TB, and a K&N FIPK 2 a couple of weeks ago and I really didnt "Feel" any gains... I bought them used and got them pretty cheap, but if I had paid retail I would have been very disappointed. On the plus the TB and Plenum are polished so it dressed up the engine nicely
DBMSTNG said:you should already have a 70mm throttle body since you have a 02 engine. you don't need an aftermarket one.
laser2kgt said:what about the engines prior to the 01 year? mines a 00, so would it benefit me to purchase a tb in additoion to the plenum? i was looking at the stangnet combo, in other words buying them both at the same time. is it worth it for me?
Is this true? If so I dont need to buy a 70mm t.b.DBMSTNG said:you should already have a 70mm throttle body since you have a 02 engine. you don't need an aftermarket one.
