Default TB question

I just ordered my trickflow intake and a 75mm tb and trickflow tb adapter i do have bigger plans down the raod, but for now i have a fcam, bbk headers, bbk o/r h pipe, american thunder exhuast, bbk CAI, and 3.73s. What im wondering is that is the 75mm throttle body to big and gunna make me lose power or will it preform the size of the MAF and not hinder the power? thanks for all the help

You will probably lose a little low end, but gain top, at least until you get a good set of flowing heads.

Yes as long as you get a good port job done to them, it is the same thing as getting high flowing heads.

I would just save the money that you would use on getting them ported and buy a set of aluminum heads instead.

Oh yeah! Definately, I was not saying that they werent, I was just saying if he wanted to port his heads for the better flow with that TB anf MAF< then that would work, or he could just get a new set of AFR's
