throttle body upgrade

[Xplorer9]

I found this throttle body on ebay which is supposed to be a performance replacement for the stock one

Ford, Mazda, Explorer, Ranger, B4000, Navajo, TB 4.0L
Item number: 180037268484
It's 66 mm and is made by BBK.Has anyone had any experience with this thing at all?Is it really worth spending money at?Would it be any of a good addition to my open air intake?Any suggestions greatly appreciated :exp:

I just added one to my explorer and I am very pleased with it. I also added a 70mm maf. How much are they asking for it on ebay?I wouldnt pay full price for it- wasnt that helpful cause i havent noticed an increase in gas mileage

I've run the BBK on 2 Explorer's. Made a difference in throttle response & top end.
Combined with an intake, & exhaust it's all adds up to a slight increase in power.
I have a 70MM MAS as well, but I've read it doesn't do much unless you get a tuned chip to match it. I got a deal on it so I bought it.

They want about 200 and change,and i kind of got to watch my budget at this time,so i'm still only thinking whether or not do i really need it right now I had just put 4 brand new tires on,did an alignment and got the brakes and rotors replaced.Also,i bought 4 shocks and put them in by myself,actually just got done about a couple hours ago with the rear ones.And,looks like they're causing a problem.Do you guys think they could be making a tapping noise going over speed bumps or at the poor quality pavement?
Anyway,thanks very much guys for your replies Speaking of the throttle body,other than gas mileage,is the difference in throttle response very much noticeable?Barely noticeable?Hardly noticeable at all?Anywhere in between?
