Default Matching Intake to Throttle Body

I want to get a Trick Flow Track Heat Intake but I dont know what Throttle body to pair it with. The opening in the intake is 75mm but I've heard that any larger than 70mm is too big for a non n/a engine. Is there an adapter for a smaller throttle body or will a 70mm TB fit anyway? Help me out, couldnt find much on Google.

A 65-75 will bolt-up with no issues. The larger port is there for "later mods."

A big throttle body is not going to make you lose torque or any of that mess. But, you are not going to use anywhere near the 75mm TB flow capabilities. So in that sense it is "to big." But it does not hurt torque and horsepower output.

actually thats exactly what it does it hurts low end torque and low end hp and if you have one way too big for your application it can totally hurt your performance, you might see higher peak hp numbers in the upper rpms but you can actually be slower et wisefor the lack of low end hp and torque.

K thanks, I'll stick with the 70. Just wanted to make sure it'd fit.
