After market throttle body
What's the consensus, is an after market throttle body worth the money. I would like to hear from guys(or girls) who have done this and what results were archived ... MPG-POWER.

You mean like a full throttle body or spacer? The spacers a waste and the throttle body seems unnessesary without actual engine mods

The whole intake needs to be replaced before your going to notice a differance in anything power oh mpg. I tried replacing mine and it didn't do anything a while back and I found out that you have to replace your upper and lower plenum along with a new throttle body. that will wakr up your engine. But your still not going to get more than (round about) 15hp

Stock tb is capable of supporting around 450rwhp. Only thing you will notice is throttle response. I'm currently running a BBK 80mm. But I have engine mods, along with fuel mods.

i would think you would have to port the intake mani to get the full benefit from a bigger tb. like most said its more for throttle response than hp/tq.
the way i see it the ecu is ment to run off the stock unmodified tb. so if you are keeping the tune factory keep the tb factory. if you can tune it i still wouldnt waste $$$$
for hondas the b18c gsr motor uses smaller intake path to make more torque in lower rpm. the gsr has butterflies that open up when rpm's raise to help top end power and close for lower rpm for torque.
port velocity is a good thing to study or fluid dynamics
also if the factory tb is port matched it will make more power than having a big tb with a small intake mani.
i have no hands on exp tuning or moding a f150 but i have messed with other cars. usually you can apply all the performance things to any motor or brand. and i figured out any electric inline supercharger, tb spacer or torando will not add power. just a plecebo or how ever its spelled.
i/h/e adds power but not much. forced induction is the way to go if you need more power. but most other things are not worth the time or $$$ i would rather have $300 in my pocket than have 2hp on my truck.
just my opnion tho everyone has a different one
