Default throttle body

Anyone have any reccomendationson what size throttle body i should be running? I built my 5.0 up myself and i know whats in it, but i bought another 92 Gt convertable a few weeks back with ALOT of mods, but i got it for an amazing price, i bought it with the intention of selling to make money. It has a 65mm TB on it now, and i was wondering if i should go for a 70 to get it running better. Its supercharged, and its got a cobra intake. Its suposidly a D.S.S motor, and the new motor only has about 200 miles on it. Its puttin out alot of power, but im just not done identifying all I have in that car. Anyone have any suggestions on what size TB?

With the supercharger you would probably benefit from the 70.

Agreed with both, hell maybe even a 75 depending on how much boost your running and how well your intake system and heads flow.

yea, true, if that thing is really built up and you're running good boost that might work too.

I always thought that a blower would make up for a smaller throttle body due to the forced induction of intake air, but I guess going to a 70 or 75 would allow for the maximum performance out of the supercharger.
