Default Throttle body advice

91 mustang gt. 5 spd all pretty much stock. Need a new throttle body as my old one has issues. Trying not to spend too much just want a decent aftermarket that will keep both low end and top speed consistent. Any suggestions on brand, size, etc?

Need more info on any other mods you have, or is it stock?

It's all stock. What else do you need? I'm really just curious as to brands to avoid and the best size to pretty much keep the car the way it is. Still want to drive it on the interstate and such. Not a racer.

Adding a larger throttle body on a totally stock engine will net you little or no horsepower increase, and in some cases can even slow you down.
