Default My New Engine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got my new engine together and have a question on If it will work.

stock block bored 30 over
stock crank and rods
probe forged aluminum pistons with 11 to 1 compression
lunati nitrous camshaft (242/ 252 duration at 50, 560/ 576 lift with a 110 lobe seperation)
comp cams 1.6 roller rockers,
trickflow track-heat heads (2.02 int./1.60 exh. valves)
trickflow R seires intake manifold
pro-m 75 mm MAF
1 5/8' longtube headers
2 1/2' back exhaust
24lb injectors
255lph fuel pump
NOS 150 wet shot

The only problem I have is that I broke my BBK 70mm throttle body. The only other one I could manage was a ford racing 67mm.
Will this throttle body flow enough for this motor, or will I have to get a 75mm or bigger?

Any estimates on hp/tq numbers would be good

Will the 67mm throttle body be a restriction on this motor?

It was a 5115 kit, but I switched it over to a wet kit.

I'm going to spray a 150 shot

dont take my word for it 100% but i think a 75mm would be good for your engine. reccomened upgrade for stock is 65, and youve got H/C/I and nitrous, so id say youd be safe with 75.

I dont have $200.00 for a 75mm and I want to get this engine in tommorow and drive that night. So how much power am I looking at losing when running this 67mm?

Also a while back I had an 87 GT with cold air, pullies, full header back exhaust, 3.73 gears and a Zex 150 shot. I was running 10 degrees timing and the bottle pressure was cold at 800 psi.

Will this engine combo im going to run feel like my old car with the nitrous?
I'm just curious to see what this things going to fell like.

itll be a little restrictive and im assuming youll drop 10+ hp at the wheels cus youll be strangling your engine a bit.

in the bottle the engine will get more than enough air so when you are racing you wont notice a difference. on a dedicated nitrous carb motor you step down a size on the carb to make most hp and torque.

off the bottle 285hp or so at the wheels. should run mid 12's or so on the bottle on a good track. if will own your old 87, it may not feel like it if you dont have steep gears, tall gears and that cam make for a very soggy bottom end.
