If you are going to change TB's I would recommend the Ford Racing 70mm..Good quality..part#M-9926-D462....Arent TB's only good for like 5hp, on a nat.asp. 97 4.6?..Do you have any suspension mods? I have a BBK 70mm TB on my '94..the throttle return spring was A LOT stiffer than stock..(accel. pedal harder to push) I hope I could help. -------------------- -SLOWER TRAFFIC KEEP RIGHT- Posts: 5132 | From: Bay Area, CA | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : GTSLN97 ¯ Member # 1849 posted                              I'm not sure what suspension brands to buy. So far I only got sport lines. I want shocks, subframes, lower control arms, sway bars. Dunno wuts the best, and for the best price.

I think you will benefit more from any single suspension mod over a "throttle body".. ....Remember horse power is only as good as you can put it to the ground..
