report: SCMT + larger throttle body installed

First installed scmt,noticed difference in off idle performance
noticable power increase @WOT.What i like is the trans options,
i have mine set @max press,stock shift points.On 1-2 shifts @wot
i bump the rev limiter {5500}.It literally blows up my rear tire now
-open diff-.But the largest increase i felt was when i installed BBK
throttle body! Dual 65mm.FYI it is the same as 4.6 mustangs+cobras
I guess the throttle body woke up the SCMT tuning.I havnt did my true duals yet,still running just a cat conv. I Like It!

<just noticed in your .sig that you have a diablo chip, so
this SCMT would prob. not be of interest to you>

Russell -

It's shorthand for the Superchips Micro Tuner, which can be used
to re-program the stock computer with new engine/tranny parameters.

See Ken Payne at the Ford store here for more details,

and also this thread below for some more info.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 05-Nov-02 AT 03:24&nbsp;PM (EST)]Same as a 4.6 Mustang Cobra???

So you are telling me that if I "found" a 4.6 cobra and "stole" the throttle body off it, it would bolt on to my V10????

report: SCMT + larger throttle body installed

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 06-Nov-02 AT 03:11&nbsp;PM (EST)]I hope your right!!! I just called my buddy at the salvage yard and he has one for me to try on my V10. I am going to try and install it on Saturday.

I will let everyone know if it works!! I hope so!!!! I need a reason to use more gas!!

But I just thought of something....if it is the same....if I replace it with a stock cobra throttle body....I will just be getting the same thing...a stock 57mm throttle body.......right?

BTW....how much did your BBK cost??
