"Owners of fox body Mustang vehicles who want to
maintain their original inlet plumbing or use another manufacturers inlet
pipe have two choices when it comes to upgrading their factory mass airflow
unit. We offer both 73mm and 76mm units by themselves, and they both deliver
a noticeable improvement in performance on both stock and modified 5.0
Mustang vehicles. The factory 55mm unit on these vehicles flows 550 cfm and
is actually 5mm smaller than the stock throttle body. The 73mm unit flows
700 cfm and the 76mm flows nearly 800 cfm, and they are both direct fit
replacements for the factory 55mm unit.
Dyno testing by us, our distributors and the
major magazines have shown that by replacing the stock unit with one of our
73mm units, you can expect 8 more rear wheel horsepower and as much as 11
additional rear wheel horsepower when installing our 76mm unit. The
difference in performance is not primarily due to the increase in airflow,
but rather through a slightly more refined calibration. The original 73mm
units calibration was developed using flowbench and track test data.
When the 76mm unit was developed, we decided to
focus our calibration testing on the dyno, and this allowed us to find 2-3
more horsepower by fine-tuning the air/fuel ratio even further. The 73mm
unit has been used on vehicles that run low to mid-10's in the quarter mile
and generate as much as 600 rear wheel horsepower on the dyno. The 76mm unit
will support the airflow needs of a 9 second quarter mile vehicle and will
supply air to engines generating up to nearly 800 horsepower."
