I have fitted a Ford Mustang 65 mm throttle body as shown below. The stock throttle body is a 56 mm unit. Below is a dyno comparing both throttle bodies at 20 psi. Actually the boost pressure was just a tad lower on the Mustang TB run. Pretty much no doubt it is an improvement. Not a bad result for $30!
Also, some have put forth the theory that decreasing velocity (due to the larger diameter) would adversely affect performance. I see nothing to support this theory in these results across the entire power band.
Maybe that graph is showing us about when the stock TB starts to become the restriction...+10HP and +11TQ for $30 and no bottom-end tradeoff....I'll take that any day.

Yep, I was thinking 350 hp is about the point when one needs to start looking at a bit bigger throttle body.
