-James Well....it wasn't exactly hard. Just a little tweeking if the new throttle body. I'd say it took about an hour. --Matt

12-15?.....ahhhhh don't hold your breath.
FYI mustangs can see a 20HP gain off an exhuast up grade. Contour guys are jumping up and down when they get 8HP on any mod ,but I could be wrong

I think many people forget that its hard to get much more HP out of the Duratec without major modifications. It already puts out a good amount of horsepower for its size. That is why people jump at a claimed 8hp gain. Don't forget.....that is the manufacturer claim and is probably inflated about 400%.

The 70mm TB on a stock 4.6 adds about 1-2hp in the real world. This said, the Duratec flows a lot more air for its displacement than the 4.6, so it is possible that it may get a few more hp than that (especially since you already have the 80mm MAF). To get any real gains with a bigger TB, you'll need forced induction. Hmm, guess Mark should try that out, eh?

We have done some research at work and the optimal size for my car with stock injectors & MAF is 73mm... As soon as I get some more funds I will invest in this and try it out.
