Bigger throttle body

HEy guys...

I'm looking for a bigger throttle body for my 4.0 OHV in the explorer... did the exhaust (2.5 " from exhaust manifold back, with flowmaster muffler) & k&n filter in the factory air box, so I thiought I'd top it off with the throttle body

Been looking everywhere but couldn't find one ... any ideas on where I could grab one?

Thanks

I haven't done it yet but am looking into the BBK throttle body. I found it on the Racenet website for the Ranger. It should work (don't know your year). I pasted the link below. Scroll down about half way. I have heard good things about BBK.

You don't need a bigger throttle body, from what I understand. The throttle body is not the bottleneck. Do some research on this site and I think you'll see that that's true.
