it breaks down into this ...

if u have a stock or any other plenum , 70mm is the way to go

if u have a c&l plenum , c&l and only c&l will get more power with a 75mm , even if ur n/a, like those links jdan posted, c&l has done testing showing that 75mm and their plenum gives higher #s than their plenum with a 70mm tb

so if ur going with a c&l plenum get a 75mm , anything else stick with 70 mm

Well it actually depends on the plenum. C&L did a test and they gainge like 6 more HP out of the 75mm and their throttle body then they did with the 70mm. If you're using the stocker like I am, then port and polish it and get a 70mm and you will feel a noticable difference.
:withstupid:

That's exactly what I read.

Most racing is done through the top of the power band anyway.
