Default BBK 78mm TB/Plenum Combo

I want a bigger throttle body and plenum and this seems like a great deal, only $250 for both and it's also the biggest size I've seen (78mm) but I'm wondering if it's too big.

I currently have:
-BBK Intake
-Mac O/R X
-Flowmaster catback (maybe replacing the mufflers with flowmaster 10 series or similar)

Adding around the same time at the TB/Plenum
-Longtubes
-4.10s
-Tune

Coming when I get the money (next year)
-Hitech Stage 2 Cams

What is the best size TB for our cars and is this too big?

I know 70mm will work fine but that costs me alot more, is this going to give me less of a gain? Will I get more of a gain with this after I get my cams?

For now to big (78mm). But with the mods you will be adding should be a nice set up...

I have been looking at this also....I was thinking it was too good to be true as it is priced at the same time as each of them separately

Yeah, I was checking out this combo in a catalog today. It makes the separate tBody and plenums look like a ripoff.

i talked to a rep from American Muscle and he said without F/I you will typically see a decrease of .2-.3 tenths in the quarter.
