They are using from a 70MM, 77MM, and a 80MM size, depending on HP. Ford
Racing sales twin TB setup for the Buttstang now. They run in the 58MM size

I agree with ya on the TB size...look at the older 5.0L Butt-stangs (for
example), you can have up to an 88mm TB on there...and it doesn't look much
different than a 60mm.
