I know some 260 owners have fitted the Accufab throttle body - what does that give above standard?

that episode has just been shown over here in darkest Belgium I smiled at it
But I have seen many 5.0 Mustangs on the drag strips in the US/Canada and they do fly.
The Accufab throttle body does not really make a lot of power but it does make the car a lot nicer to drive, plus it revs much more freely especially over 4000rpm and it does make you wish for a higher rev limit as it will red line quite easily.
KB superchargers well ummm yes they do work very well with the 260 too good for me at one point.
Pulled the covers off my 260 today and opened the door, it still smells of new leather/ new car inside
