RE: Throttle Body
No, I do not think bolting it up would be an issue, and I do not think anything additional is needed. Everyone has a preference when it comes to brands, my OPINION is that you cannot go wrong with BBK, and I have never heard anything bad about Accufab either.

Thanks for the quick responses & information, primetime
Anything else I should know before purchasing a TB? Any additional parts or upgrades necessary?

RE: Throttle Body
you don't have any real mods on the engine..the 65mm will be good..look at the proffession product tb....they have satin for around 110.00 and polished for 130.00 and they had an adjustable tps with is nice I use them on my car...I don't like the edelbroke..spelling is right
as the spring is heavy and makes for a funny pedal feel

My current mods are:
BBK CAI
Centerforce DF clutch
Pro 5.0 shifter
BBK equal shorty headers
O/R Prochamber
Magnaflows
Aluminum driveshaft

Is 65mm still the way to go?

RE: Throttle Body
Thanks for the info guys.
Brand-wise, I think I'm down to either BBK or Accufab. Sounds like both the 65 or 70mm will work, but for future considerations, I may go with 70.
Please feel free to keep the opinions coming though

RE: Throttle Body
1. Your 65mm TB might HURT your power since the stock intake opening is 60mm....
2. Edelbrock and BBQ are quality sand cast TB's, the Accufab is billet, and therefore, more presice. There is nothing that I can say that is good about ANYTHING that "Profesional" Products makes other than their thortle bodies do make a nice paperweight.
As for me, I have gone the whol heads/cam/intake route, and I do have a 65mm Accufab. You have 2 engine modifications, a TB will really do NOTHING until you get more engine/air/exhaust mods. Wait until you swap out the intake AND mass-air meter
