couple of HP questions

Does anyone know if you can use a 75mm throttle body from a 4.6L mustang on a 97 f150 4.6L? Can a throttle body spacer also work with this?
Does anyone know if the intake tornado thing actually works or is it a waste of money?

I don't know about using the Mustang throttle body, but I do know that both the throttle body spacer and that tornado thing are a waste of money. If you want performance upgrades talk to Mike Troyer @ troyerperformance.com, he can steer you in the right direction. Hope this helps.

HI!... If you mean a MUSTANG TB is 75mm? It's not. It's 70mm just like the ones on the F-150 4.6/5.4.

Sorry about that I meant an aftermarket 75mm like a BBK. A larger one.

the linkage is reversed.. on the mustang.. it pulls from behind not the front.. while yes it will work... its just going to be interesting re routing the throttle cable around behind

HI!... BBK makes a 75mm TB for the F-150. I got mine from MIKE TROYER at TROYER PERFORMANCE. He goes as Superchips Distributor in the computer chips section.
