I'm pretty sure that you can run a 70mm TB on the stock intake.

no its to large. you would have to port the intake to match the opening of the 70mm tb. but then you better port the whole intake. you can bolt it up but it will still restrict flow and wont be worth it

i personally wouldnt waste my time with a cobra 70mm especially since its calibrated for 24# injectors.

i would go with a 73mm with a stock tb or a 65 tb. or you could run a 76mm with a 65mm tb

on stock intake i wouldnt do either unless it was ported
