Spacer vs 70mm Throttle body

2010 Stock Pony Mustang - yeah its a 4.0 (be nice). Just purchased the JLT Series 2 intake, I know its gonna need a tune, was thinking of the SCT 7014 X4. This is my question...
I was going to install the SR Performance 70mm throttle body but the word is some like it some dont. Am I just better off with the spacer, tune and intake? I've already done the dual exhaust and I know its never gonna be a Hot Rod but I want alittle more than stock. Somebody out there has to have already done this. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thx

A day in the park.

The 2010 Gets to Be The Odd Duck Because Of It's Half in Half Out of The First Gen Powertrains So Some Info Can Be Gleaned From The 2005-2009 4.0L Posts Here!

Makes The Online Catalog Shopping For These Cars & Mods a little Tricky as Well!

2005-2009 Section For Reference Below!

Personally,

I Like The Axleback, Cold air & Tune To Keep Thinks Simple. It's The Sound & Drivability Feel We All Crave 90% of The Time With The Last 10% Being All Out Performance! I Go With The 90% & Enjoy The Simplicity Max Effectiveness of The 3 Changes.

Btmo,

KC

When it comes to those throttle body spacers, take some friendly advice by saving your hard earned money towards mods which your car can truly benefit from... As for throttle body spacers, they're nothing more than just a bunch of marketing hype that don't really do anything as claimed!

I was REALLY NOT looking forward to changing the throttle body since the one on the car functions fine. I'll pick up the tuner, use one of the canned tunes for added intake and exhaust and be done with it. Thanks

You made the right choice by picking up the tuner and installing the proper tune designed for your cold air intake kit... Unless your running off-road, high-flow cats or long tube headers, your vehicle does not require aftermarket tuning for the exhaust...
