ok well after this weekend i noticed the car wasnt hitting its 130plus mph and was only hitting 124mph.

noticed i have alot of boost leaks and i have to change a few things.

my edlebrock throttle body is leaking from both ends one where the sensor is and the other where the throttle cable connects to.

my cooler is done aswell

heres what i need to know,
i have a magnus manifold with a mustang 75mm throttle body.

i was thinking of going with skunk2 throttle body 70mm.
also i have a throttle body that is 86-93mustang 5.0bolt pattern,does anyone know if this skunk2 is the same bolt setup?

Keep in mind i am going with 3" pipe so will a 70mm throttle body vs my 75mm make a difference?


also looking at this cooler ,goal is 650/700hp

thanks in advance for you help since you guys always give me the right advice

 

anyone?

 

Call Skunk2, but I doubt it's the same.

The 5mm difference won't be much, but since you have a nice manifold it's best to optimize that for ya.

 

The skunk2 tb is not the same bolt pattern as the mustang tb

 

Thanks guys..


ok so i called edlebrock up and spoke to tech.

The reason why i was debating on a throttle body was simple because mine i noticed when i hooked up the smoke machine, it would smoke from the sensor side and from the rod side that connects to the throttle cable.

Edelbrock told me its normal because its not a 100percent seal on where the rod goes threw.

Can anyone else confirm this for me?

 

I almost lost a motor to an edelbrock 75mm mustang throttle body. Whatever you do, if you get this, take the screws that hold the throttle plate to the shaft and loctite them.

I can't vouch for the throttle body being 100% sealed, but I never had any issues that would be caused by that.

 

wow i heard about that issue with other throttle bodys where bolts went loose.

has anyone done a smoke test on their car and found that it leaks from those ends of the throttle body?
