Default Throttle body choice?

Hey guys, okay i am looking into a new throttle body, and im not sure what brand to go with, I am looking at a 75mm, throttle body and egr plate, and im looking at professional products, bbk, accufab, and ford racing...which do you think would be my best choice? i am looking to go polished but bbk is the only one who doesnt have polished, but if they are way better than the other choices, then i can go with them

why is 75 too big? i cant remember what the thread was, but someone told me 75 would be just right, especially with the route im going...so professional products is good stuff...did you notice a power gain over the stock tb, and i assume you got the egr plate as well?

i've got a 70mm accufab. it's a little pricey, but looks and works great.

a 70mm will support 500 na hp 75mm will kill your bottom end and throttle repsonse. yea i gained about 7 wheel hp and about 9 wheel torque. yea i bought the egr plate too but now i dont need it i have the ssi intake and it dosent take the adapter.

i paid i think around 150 shipped with the egr adapter. accufab is better but costs almost 2 times the money. not much power difference. the tests ive seen it only made 1 hp more than pp and bbk on a trick flow hci 302 car.
