Default AIR FLOW QUESTION?

I have a choice on my hands but not sure what to choose. I can get either a 75mm throttle body or a 70mm but which one? Ive heard that 75mm could hurt my bottom end power and thats why im askin.

70mm, The Accufab 70mm/elbow makes more power than the 75mm..... it even makes more power supercharged too.

I dunno the heads can only take in so much air, I thought they were getting close to that limit with the stock TB and plenum.

After doing a lot of reading on here, I'm under the impression from guys here that know a lot more than I do that the GT motor itself is where your bottleneck is. seems like you could open up both the intake and exhaust side, but there's just so much you can do with a 2V motor. You're looking at like $1700 to do CAI and TB, headers, midpipe and catback. What is that going to get you...20 rwhp? Since I am not going to do any type of FI I just said to heck with it, it's not worth the money. I've decided to get some 4.10's and save my money for the times when something needs fixed on the car.

an off road H pipe, and a nice catback exhaust..is a must for me,but its your car!

If you want a car that takes mods better, buy an Ls1 or ls2.
