If you get the 75mm t-body get a new intake plenum with it. If you go to rpmoutlet.com they have good combo deals. Everyone says the if your car is N/A (naturally apirated, no supercharger of turbo) then you don't need a 75mm throllt body just a 70mm. But if you look at numerous dyno charts, the stock N/A motor will see a gian of a few HP using the 75mm as opposed to the 70mm, and since everyone offers the combo deal with your choice of 70 or 75mm tbody, go with the 75mm, as it will give you a few more horse for the same price. Seems stupid for anyone to spend the same amount of money and get less performance. By the way, when i got the C&L intake plenum and 75mm throttle body I loved it. You can definantly notice a difference in throttle response. If you buy them though, you should get a Cold-Air intake and new exhaust as these will help free up flow restrictions in your engine, thus freeing up trapped HP. Just helps optimize the use of the new t-body and plenum.

By the way, if you really want the best combo, get the Accufab combo, as everyone shows that the accufab has the best performance gains as opposed to any other plenum/t-body combo. But the Accufab is about $100 more than any other combo. So it is up to you which one you decide to get. If you like the bling under your hood, the Accufab is all chrome. If I were you I would not go with the Performance or Power Motorsports, or whatever the heck the name of the new combo is that came out a few months ago. You can get that combo for I think $229 as opposed to $300 for the BBK or C&L combo. It is about $400 for the Accufab Combo, depending on where you look. DO your research at different plces and find the best price. If your budget is small, go with the C&L or BBK combo. If your have deep pockets definantly Accufab is the way to go. All in what you want to spend.

Professional Products, thats the name of it. $215 on ebay. IMO I like the Accufab, but if you want to spend a little bit of money and get some gains go with it. I just don't like it. But that's just me, don't let my opinion make you spend more money if you don't want to. I nthe end it is a good investment. Again, just my $0.02, not looking for a battle with anyone about which is the best. Sorry if I insulting anyone.

^Like he said, unless you have Deep pockets, BBK is the way to go. I found a place that sells the 75mm TB and Plenum combo for $309 shipped. 70 and 75mm cost the same and if you ever upgrade to a S/C then the 75 really is a better choice. I really don't think there is a big difference between the 70 and 75mm with a N/A engine.
