I was talking to a friend about the future plans for the GSX... when the subject of picking up a over bored or BBK throttlebody, he mentioned that the throttlebody would help with top end power, but it would drop bottom end torque due to a loss in intake charge velocity... does anyone have experience with this or is there a solution that I could gain in both area's...
what is the reason/benefit of using a throttlebody spacer??? -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!

We run the Accufab for the 4.6L SOHC mustang motor 75mm. The stock TB is very good and way to go for reliability. The mustang style TB are not designed for our forced induction application. We've snapped the shaft on the BBK one a few times. We currently have a back up TB for when the Accufab breaks. The stock TB does limit the size of your IC pipes though. Will it hurt power production? I'm just guessing the difference would be 580hp versus 565hp.
