Default Throttle body upgrade

Any one out there ever swap stock throttle body for a carb or new set up like Holley or edlebrock.

I know that they make manifolds for the 4.6 so that you can use a carb. Jegs and Summit has them.

Yeah, I haven't looked any further into it but they might make one for the 5.4.

If you really want to upgrade, why not just grab an intake, throttle body spacer and a programmer?? If you're really wanting engine upgrades these are where I would start vs changing your manifold and going to a carb... just my .02 cents worth though.... AND if you're really wanting BIG power grab yourself a supercharger!!

If you buy a throttle body spacer be sure its colorful... Maybe it will look good and then you could have a legit reason why to have a TB spacer... If you dont like the color ship it to me and i will use it for a boat ancor or somthing constructive

More of a morbid curiosity then anything.
