RE: Throttle Body
Well you'll have to add bigger injectors, my guess would be 24 lb.
But regardless, if your planning on modding a lot, bigger injectors are always good...
But I'd say 70mm if you plan on modding it pretty well, if not i'd go 65mm. I bet you could keep stock injectors with the 65 too.

RE: Throttle Body
Righto, 70mm is pushing new injectors, especially if you're going to be using (EFI) big MAS and intake or (CARB) larger cfm induction. So it should be based on your final goal for the engine/car. If your going to go all out, why not change the injectors and fuel pump and go with a large induction system. But if you want to keep it a little more mild and have good power but not have to go through the money and time of the fueling system, then go with the 65mm.
