Hey guys im thinking of upgrading my Throttle body from the 65mm to the 70mm tickford one, on my au 2 xr8 200kw ute- firstly is it a good/worth while mod?
Secondly do i then need to replace my mass air flow sensor? Ive got a flash box so it can be tunned later.... wanting to do with my 1.72's YT's and a new cam? Any thoughts or suggesting would be great. thanks peter |

70mm is plenty big enough for virtually any street driven 5L.
75mm is way too big IMO. Reality is, the difference between 65mm and 70mm is not a lot, as the 65mm unit will flow almost enough to rev to 7000rpm.

75mm is WAY too big for a 5.0. 70mm is as big as you want to go, ad that is MAXIMUM. 65mm will be the best for your mild set-up. How can i say that a bigger throttle body and 1.72 rockers will go well with your new cam your getting when i dont even know what cam your getting. I honestly think you dont know what you want, you have another thread started about supercharging, yet your saying here that you just got 1.72 rockers and a new camshaft kit. :S

No im tossing up ideas, I have the R rockers in the garage ready to go, Have a mate in newy that has a couple of these ford racing T/B kits... And have Chris from blue power tracking a cam kit for me.
Then when i picked up my ute from ford today my mechanic suggested supercharging it? Where as ive always wanted a 5.6L so? |
