5 Top Rated Questions

I'm guessing the ~10rwhp gain is with a tune? How much would this increase horsepower with no tune and stock motor/intake?

The 10 HP increase is without a tune. When combined with a tune, you should see even better performance gains.

Helpful (2)

Hi I plan on putting a stage 1 cam in my 00 Mustang GT and I was wondering if this throttle body would be a good match with it or should I get a bigger one?

This throttle intake is a good addition to your 2000 Mustang GT that will have the stage 1 cams on it as those cams are good upgrades for vehicles that are not heavily modified.

Helpful (2)

Do I need to do a Bama tune with this set up? My car is stock right now. I will put on a cold air intake later.

This item will not need a BAMA tune if your car is stock.

If put that one my mustang have more power

This SR Performance 70mm Throttle Intake will increase power up to 10 rear wheel horsepower as a direct bolt-on.

Helpful (1)

Performance/advantage difference if any between the 70mm Throttle Intake and the combo of SR's Upper Intake Plenum and 70mm Throttle Body? I understand one would be a solid piece and the other would be separate but paired together. Advantages/disadvantages of both?

Being a one piece design, the SR Performance 70mm Throttle Intake will flow slightly more, and will flow smoother than a traditional 2 piece design. Realized performance benefits between these two designs will be minimal.

Does this throttle intake need a tune? I already have an Airaid CAI that didn't require a tune as well. 1 answer

The SR Performance 70mm Throttle Intake does not require a tune, however, if you have a tuner with custom tunes, we highly recommend a tune revision to get the most out of the intake and throttle intake.

Helpful (1)

how much larger is this throttle intake compared to stock? ive heard that if the opening is to big it can actually hurt performance on a stock car. 1 answer

It definitely is larger, but it is not overpowering and compliments the stock motors performance. You will also feel and hear a difference in throttle response. Great addition! !

Helpful (1)

If I have stock exaust but have an aftermarket cold air intake would it improve performance 1 answer

You should see some performance gains when paired with a cold air intake. However, it will depend on if the vehicle is tuned or not.

Helpful (0)

Will this work with an Edlebrock Victor Jr intake manifold? If so, is there a recommended CAI to pair with it? 1 answer

The Edelbrock Victor Jr. EFI Intake Manifold requires a 75-90mm throttle body, so this plenum will not work as it is 70mm.

Helpful (0)

What do you guys recommend, a one piece like this, or a two piece throttle body/ plenum? 1 answer

The one piece throttle intake is a good choice because it will be more efficient with air flow than the two piece.

First time Mustang owner. I have a 98 GT 5 speed all stock that I just purchased. It only has 68k on it so it’s a great starting place. I am adding a CAI and would like to add this throttle body combo. My question is do I need to do anything with the MAF? Thanks I’m asvance. 1 answer

No, the MAF will not need to be changed when installing a cold air intake and a throttle body.

If I only have an Airaid CAI and weld in Magnaflow mufflers will this be to large? Also would a tune be needed? 1 answer

The SR Performance 70mm Throttle Intake would be a perfect size for your Mustang and modifications. no tuning is required with this part.

Hi, This SR Performance 70mm Throttle Intake - Polished should work with any cold air intake as long as the cold air intake is designed to be used with you Mustang

Giving me big problems

The first one I got I installed and made my car idle very poorly and took it to a macanic and he said it was warped and was causing an air leak. So I returned it and received another. This time I let the machinic put it in and it was alright, until I sat in my car waiting for something with the ac on and the check engine light comes on again. Never had this issue until then. Spent so much money on this thing and it doing nothing but giving me a headache and putting my car back in the shop.

Better throttle

Already had the SR cai so wanted a throttle body to add some more air. Purchased this 70 mm black combo. Received timely and packaged well with all required parts. Easy install. I can already tell there is more throttle response. Not sure about more horsepower. Looks good. Satisfied with outcome.

Looks nice.

I am unsure as to the performance impact but it looks nice. Attaching the throttle cable was not as straight forward as it seems. Took me as long to hook the cable up correctly as it did for installing everything else combined. But I'm a rookie.

Review from SR Performance 70mm Throttle Intake - Polished (96-04 GT)

Looks good

Bolted on pretty easy, just had a little trouble with one of the plastic fittings that was provided. There wasn't much room between the fitting and one of the sensors you have to transfer over. I was able to thread it in a little bit. Not the best fitting, but I made it work. Getting the car tuned next week after I installed this and the headers so will see the true potential of it soon.

Punch for the buck

Many people upgrade their intake system but not the throttle unit, which causes a bottleneck. This 70mm throttle unit remedies that, and really gave a more assertive throttle to my 02 GT.

Review from SR Performance 70mm Throttle Intake - Polished (96-04 GT)

Great product

I was skeptical about the product at first but figured it was the last bolt on part I needed and man am I happy I grabbed it. The plenum throttle body combo is a great deal and you can definitely feel a harder pull in the mid range. I also love the sound, you can hear the motor breathing with a noticeable whistle when you are on the throttle. Definitely a great supporting mod when you have a CAI and a full exhaust. Thank you American Muscle for keeping my old GT from seeing too many taillights.

Review from SR Performance 70mm Throttle Intake - Polished (96-04 GT)

poor fitment

The items looks are ok. the man face of it is perfect but on the edges its got weird holes in the metal. My biggest issue was fitment. I work on cars professionally and deal with poor fitment all the time. But when you pay for something like this you expect it to just bolt on. I had to trim my gaskets that came with it. The plastic hose connector wont screw in far enough for your sensor to clear so you have to trim it. Then the threads are made very cheap so putting a bolt in it cross threads if your not super careful. Works great once on but I would go with another type.

Great product. Definitely a big difference in throttle response. Only issue I had was the mounting holes did not line up and where it was so tight, the nut stripped out of one of the holes in the manifold.
