Default which throttle body and intake spacer?

I'm planning on putting on a throttle body along with an intake spacer on my '95 5.0 which has a BBK CAI, and a pypes off-road x-pipe, what throttle body size and intake spacer combo would be the right one to get for me? And no, I can't get rear gears because I would not be able to install them myself and therefore can't afford putting them in. Thanks

p.s idk why that icon looks like a camaro, it should be banned!!

70mm would be fine. But there is no reason to get a spacer.

is there really no need for a spacer? I heard that throttle bodies are pretty useless on their own, and getting a spacer along with it will definitely help to get a more noticeable gain in hp

is it going to add a million HP, no. But you will notice a dramatic change in your throttle response. As for the comments that venomantidonte made. He's a dumbass, so dont listen to him. You dont need a larger MAF, you already have a 70mm. Think of this as one of those "upgrade it now and never worry about it again" kinda deals.

A 70mm TB will be all you need until you add some cubic inches.

ahah no comment on your remark towards venomantidonte, but yeah 70mm sounds good, and i think i might as well throw on a spacer, MAYBE, since it's relatively inexpensive. you think it's okay if i get a stack racing 70mm off AM since it's $170 compared to a BBK one that's $210? I have a BBK CAI but I don't think getting a BBK TB will cause a better output right? just wondering if the stack racing is a reliable and good part

American Muscle... *grumble grumble*

If you want cheap, look at the summit Racing brand pieces. Although I suggest you don't be cheap here.
