BBK 70mm is a good overall size for most street-car applications that allows you to grow when you upgrade to additional engine mods later on. If supercharger and other bigger add ons are in your future best to use at least 75mm...

Put your money elsewhere for now. The stock 60mm will be fine...

Actually 70mm is to big until your around the 400hp mark go with a 65 with a 70 you lose a little torque down low

I had my BBK for almost a year with no whistle.....I just changed my EGR and now it whistles [:@]

I plan on drilling a hole in it this weekend...

actually no its not. my brother had a 75mm on his 302 switched to a 70 that a friend had and it felt slower. thats personal experience. i just wish i had went bigger on my old 347. for my current 302 i am not going smaller than 75
