Love the look of the black rims /chrome lip on your stang. And yeah, that $ will be "felt" more if used forsay, headers or pipes, or an intakeat the cars current state of build.

BBK 70mm is a good overall size for most street-car applications that allows you to grow when you upgrade to additional engine mods later on. If supercharger and other bigger add ons are in your future best to use at least 75mm...


Actually 70mm is to big until your around the 400hp mark go with a 65 with a 70 you lose a little torque down low


actually no its not. my brother had a 75mm on his 302 switched to a 70 that a friend had and it felt slower. thats personal experience. i just wish i had went bigger on my old 347. for my current 302 i am not going smaller than 75
my bad I always hear people say on hear 70 is to big so I believed it[&:]didn't you have a 65 on your old 347?
