I'm a little confused. You have a new stock throttle body?

A 75mm TB will mate to that plenum of yours nicely. You will not feel a huge difference, but I think it's better than the factory 65mm.

B&M is o.k. I guess. I don't think it matters all that much which brand when it comes to the TB.

By the way, what does this have to do with a T/B spacer that you would waist your money on anyways???

I have also noticed that before. Anybody use it before? It only advertises 2-3 hp for N/A though... I doubt you can feel a difference.
