get a throttlebody and plenum combo. 75mm should be perfect.

it cant hurt to go too big. 75 is going to help you down the road when you start doing more mods.

That's true. My goal is to get my car fast enough to beat my friends 99 firebird formula.

Yea thats what i was thinking, he has gotten it into the high 12's with only L/T headers and a Y pipe. So im going to have to do some moddin to get to that level.

if you think the 70mm is good, and the 75mm too big...why did you ask in the first place? some guy on here posted a thread dealing w/ dyno pulls using these two size TB's. the 75 won out in all combinations. they are the same price. the 75mm will allow for better perf. from possible future mods, w/out sacrificing any thing right now. simple choice for me. i went w/ the 75. go w/ the accufab 75mm.

Get a 75mm tb hands down. I suggest the accufab tb/plenum combo.
