whats the hp gain on a 65 mm compared to stock? also does it change the feel of the pedal? cause mine is hard right now and i feel the power, i tried a 75 mm on the same modified car and it felt loose. i didnt feel the power... adjustable?

you're not going to notice much of a difference between a 65 and a 70. since the intake opening is only 64 mm you're going to get the same amount of air from the 65 and 70. go with the 70 so you dont have to upgrade later.

accufab is a great throttle body. i've never heard anyone complain about it, except for the price. I run a 75mm bbk. i love it. its sand cast, so it whistles really loud. but when you get on it, it sounds like a turbo spooling up, then when you shift and punch it, it sounds like a blow off valve.

the inlet in the intake for the tb is less than 65mm, so upgrading tb's with a stock intake is pissing in the wind IMO. 65mm will be plenty for a mild h/c/i build. 70 is good for a built stroker or something, 75 is good for a built motor with a s/c, turbo, etc.

75 is also good for a stock motor with an intake and pulleys

i know all about that and how big the opening is and everything, i just was wondering until i get the supercharger if putting the 70 on would totally kill my bottom end, i mean i dont want my car to lose like a half second in the quarter while i wait 2 or 3 months to get the supercharger.
