RE: throttle body/cold air kit combo
First, I would get a bigger MAF before the TB. A bigger TB will do nothing for you behind the 55mm stock MAF except make you lose air velocity and power.
Second, I don't remember where, but a guy did a dyno test between an O/R H and catted H and the HP difference was 8 to the wheels (his was a 350+ rwhp application). On a stock or mostly stock car, I don't think it will matter much. For some that's a big gain, but you could make it up w/ pullies or whatever, so go w/ what's easier for you.

RE: throttle body/cold air kit combo
OK, stupid question...if i get a bigger MAF and TB, will everything still match up? I dont want to buy a bunch of intake components and have nothing match up correctly because its all different sizes. Sorry if this is kind of a newbie question, but i've never done an intake swap before. If I order everything for my specific car (95 GT) will everything match up regardless of size (i.e. 65mm TB, 73mm MAF, BBK cold air kit, etc)?

RE: throttle body/cold air kit combo
OK guys, I think i've got this figured out, I just have one question. Does a 95 GT have 19LB injectors stock? I'm ordering the C&L complete MAF kit, and i'm not sure what to get. I want the 76mm kit, and the lowest one is 19LBs, so i'm assuming thats what I have since i have stock injectors. Am I correct in assuming this?

Yes on both posts....it will all match up and you have stock 19 #'ers. Don't go larger than 65mm on the TB since you're almost stock, and the 76mm MAF should work well.

RE: throttle body/cold air kit combo
OK, thats settled then...now, what do you recommend for a throttle body? I'm definately going with 65mm, but what is the best brand? Is any one any better than another?
