Default 70mm tb and plenum vs 75mm

Ok. I currentally have a 85mm tb and plenum. Many say im loosing power so im looking to buy a smaller one. what would be the power difference from a 70mm - 75mm. Will it give me more hp than a 85mm. I havea jlt RAi intake. flowmaster catback and upr o.r x pipe.

"its custom ported to 85"

I dont think any plenum has enough in it to port it to 85mm, not even an aftermarket one. I would take it off and measure it b/c I doubt it is 85mm.

hmmmm, is that a scam, or is it for real? And if its real, does 85mm really make that much of a difference in power?? Any input on this guys....?
