Had the GT 6 months then got ford pulley/tune it was great. Year later got GT Guys X pipe. Another 10 to15 HP and great sound. This has worked great on the street and track.

The Ford tune is completely compatible with the bigger throttle body. Unless you car is running very high boost from a Whipple or TT, the throttle body will do absolutely nothing for increased performance - hence the reason that it is fine with the Ford Racing tune.

And just for the record, I like the throttle body and sell/install a lot of them so John knows I like and support his product. But John would tell you the same thing that I have regarding performance. The cast OEM TB is just sorta ugly bolted up to a pretty billet Whipple and the Accufab looks sooooo nice!

I don;t think it matters that much what you go with, I went with the Ford Racing via CoolTechllc.com as I live in the Republic of California. I really doubt a smog tech would know the diff on these cars. But after passing for a couple cycles on a Z06, and trouble passing with the new OBD2 rules for readiness ,I decided to go with Ford.
If I didn't live in Cali I would go with Torrie's or John's tune. Just my opinion. And BTW I know for a fact John's tune produced more HP/TQ at a dyno day a few years ago, than some others. We did not have an example of Torrie's tune that day, but is shows what the tuners can really do. I feel the diff with the Ford tune at roll on for sure, you will not be disappointed, but I also assume some is left on the table. I follow this stuff pretty close, So my Choices would be Torrie/John/Ford.

I bought the early Ford Racing Pulley kit which also included the shorter supercharger belt. I then bought an SCT module with a tune (can't remember from who at this moment). It was MUCH crisper over all RPM ranges! I would never go back to stock. I also have a wideband A/F dash mounted gauge (from Shadowman) so I can keep an eye on things. Also, I had no problems passing a smog test here in the Republic or California.

I had the Ford tune which added a nice boost. Then had a DA tune which to me felt dull compared to the Ford tune. The Ford tune seemed to add a punch at the top that the DA tune lacked. May have produced a better dyno curve I don't know but boring SOP meter.
I've got one FGT with the Accufab throttle body, and one FGT with the stock throttle body. I totally agree with Kendall - the Accufab looks *much* better!
