Best Answer

A 'performance throttle body' will have bigger ports than the stock TB, which allows more air into the engine. This will then allow you to add more fuel through a custom tune, which means slightly more power.
Also, the throttle response of an aftermarket, bigger port TB is typically quicker than the OEM piece.

The throttle body on a stock mustang should not hurt the performance. You can always upgrade to a better performing throttle body. Unless you plan on changing things like air intake, exhaust, headers, and things of that sort you should be just fine with the stock throttle body.
