Finally, a good tech question!

I've always wondered where the most restrictive part of the intake path
for a 360 is. If your intake manifold can only flow so much then
installing a sewer pipe size throttle body won't net any gains.

The goal is to optimize the entire path. Get all component to match in
terms of it's capacity to flow. I would start with the most restrictive
part.

                Hey Guys,

                I spent quite a bit of time modifing ford 302's in the
past and have a
                question. It is quite useless to change out a mass air
flow or TB on a
                lightly modified or stock 5.0l and expect any gains. It
is only after
                changing a minimun of upper and lower intake change that
it is a good
                idea. How is this different for a 318/360. One of the
things that has
                kept me from ordering any TB from anyone are lessons
that have been
                already learned in the Mustang community in reguards to
TB's.

                Fill Me in Fellas,

                Steve
