    Ford 65mm but I'm going MS so I don't have to worry about a ChryCo TPS or IAC.

    My brother is using a Ford 65mm TB. Just had to splice the Ford TPS connector to the TB. He's not running an IAC.

    i have seen that a few people are running the phord parts, how difficult would it be to make this work, fairly simple?

    Dakota 4.7 TB 68mm I believe. Spliced the connectors into the factory wiring and started the car up. Easiest way to go I think.

    A popular one with the SVO guys is the 94-95 5.0 TB. Its quite large from what I hear and it transforms the throttle feel from a 2.3 to that more of 5.0. Interesting stuff.

    That sounds a bit big, I know 8 valve is a different beast but tried a 58 on mine and it slowed down. When I get my TIII up and running, I will try a 52 and 58mm to see what happens,

    I upgraded the stock 46mm to a 52mm. I noticed a bit of a difference in response, but my fuel economy went to pot.

    As big as but not smaller than your intercooler outlet pipe!
    68mm Phord works out nice.

    Was it hard to wire up?
    I bought one and changed my mind. I'm thinking the 4.7 Dakota might be the easier hook up. If anyone is interested, the Jeep TB is on ebay right now. Here's the link to the auction.
