FC TPS choices

Will be rebuilding my motor, and putting a megasquirt in.

Plan is no AFM. Will run MAP.

I've read the stock TPS is pretty awful. previously when working with the TPS, the range didn't seem great.

What are some good options to replace the TPS with? Maybe better reading / broader range? I believe I remember way back, reading about a mustang GT TPS?

The car will be pure track.

Awesome. Thanks!

Does that provide a full range for TPS?

You don't necessarily need the full range TPS to have a working install. It's just better, as it offers more range for accel enrichment, more useful datalogs, etc.

As mentioned, the Ford TPS can be slipped directly over the FC throttle shaft with a bit of massaging of the shaft nut. Then just make a bracket to securely hold it to the throttle body.
