Hello everyone,

Lighnting Force Performance and my tuner, SCT Performance Tuning by Andre, are offering a new throttle body for the 05. On a stock GT they are claiming 8.5 rwhp and 8 rwtq. I will be testing one for my S/C to see what rwhp and rwtq can be achived. However, I have worked a deal to get use a great deal on the throttle body as a group buy.

Selling Points:
* Designed & Machines specifically for Lighnting Force Performance
* 62mm Throttle Body
* CNC machined from 6061 billet aluminum. Not casted like other manufactures. This will insure a better fit.
* Anodized in blue, red, black, etc.
* High strength Chrome Molly shaft
* Thin throttle plate to maximize air flow
* Linkage and butterflies machined out of brass
* Improved gearing ratio for better throttle response
* Installs in 15 minutes
* 8.5 rwhp and 8rwtw on a stock Mustang GT

Costs for Group Buy:
1 person ---------------- $489 (free shipping)
2-4 people -------------- $464
5-9 people -------------- $439
10-14 people ----------- $417
15 or more people ----- $396

Beautiful piece of craftsmanship! I am interested but am catious because of the price, if that is the sale price even at the max then I will probably wait a little longer for that 8hp increase. Let me know if you go to buy, I could reconsider though if I were in the right financial state and mood.

As I like this idea, I just can't see how this particular part works without a tune. Are there no sensor's hooked up to or nearby to set off?

I know of 2 of us that will be testing it soon. Me (S/C) and someone else with a C&L. As soon as this occurs, I will post those results - it may be a week or 2 though.

Bryan,
I'm going to be watching this thread as well, It looks like a quality piece but, (there always one of those) It does seem a little pricey.
If we can get it down into the cheaper tier I would probably consider it.

I will definetly be interested in purchasing one. I would like to get some solid test results and make sure a tune is not req'd b/c that in itself makes it $200 more expensive...

Is that the same unit as the MotoBlue? It look's like the one on RPM Outlet...It really look's like a nice piece! If we can get to the $396 tier, I'm in... Anodized blue would be perfect.

I do not believe so .. from what I have been told by Andre, this is being made for LFP alone.

Thanks Bryan,
I want to talk a bit with Andre about this and the new Xcal II, but for under $400 sounds good.
I may get out to see him this weekend.
