Has anyone had experience using a mustang throttle body on one of the klde or klze setups? I have a few extra and was wondering if it is beneficial and how hard it is to swap it on there . Thanks guys .

It is much like people that think they can just dump more fuel in with larger injectors and make more power. People on here warn them -and then they do it anyway -and then later on come back complaining about crappy performance, stumbling and smell of fuel in the exhaust.
Or -if you are not interested in performance and just want some "bling-bling" -then throw it on there along with a fart can and you will be good to go!Last edited by KLZE Porsche; November 11, 2017, 12:35 PM.Success is a measure of determination!

If you are running a stock DE intake -you need to ditch that thing for either a long neck KLZE intake or a ported KLG4.

Try to find one instance where someone has dynoed before and after installing spacers alone -with no other mods -to support the claim of gains -and you won't find one. It doesn't exist. And also -if you install a KLG4 intake with phenolic spacers -you will 100% for sure have hood rub problems.
I already have had KLG4 rub against the OEM hood insulation -and with the spacers it would likely end up being metal to metal rub. But again -if you want them -throw them in along with a grossly over-sized TB, some Millenia "S" injectors, a fart can and a big "H" sticker in the rear window. It works for some!Last edited by KLZE Porsche; November 12, 2017, 08:38 AM.Success is a measure of determination!

The curved neck is best for low to mid range torque compared to unmodified intakes.
The long neck sucks for low end torque but is good for upper end RPMs.
The KLG4 is the best for both worlds when you do the work to it. But it takes a lot of work to get it there.
So your best "bolt on" torque will definitely be the curved neck.Success is a measure of determination!
