Default Throttle Body ???'s

Would a 75mm tb be to much for my car? i've got a cai and full exhaust but i don't know if it'd be too much or not. I figure 70mm would be good, but i'd like to step up to 75mm if its going to help if not i'm not gonna worry about it.

hey a fellow person from KY.

to your question. if your intake is big enough to accept a 75 by all means slap a 75 on there. allow all the air in the motor that you can. if anything is going to be a restriction it will be your heads

As long as your intake will accept it it should be fine. It won't hurt you by having a large one like the 75mm. I have a 70mm on mine cause that's what my intake was sized for. I dunno what the stocker will take, just go out and measure the inlet.
