Nothing can be gained and you will be alot better off with the 65.</P>


If you change a throttle body to a 75mm, you can actually feel the difference in the way the car runs. I don't were you got that at.<IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0"></P>

Look a 75mm deffently doesn't hurt anything. It will only help with the more mods you do in the future. Believe me on this!</P>

sorry but your wrong on this one tell me how a 75mm will help with a stock 55mm mass...your restriction is the mass and unless the exhuast end is improved the engine can not take in more air unless forced....I use just a 75 on a race prep s/c engine...why I have done over the years is buys a few maf's 65 thru 105... bigger is not always better...what is later mods need a 75? wait and put it on then you don't have to always have big mods for good power

YEah. Thats why i said. If you plan on doing other mods.Including the MASS AIR i hope that wouldn't be to far behind on the list of things todo. But i don't wanna see they have to buy a throttle body twice.<IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0">

dont get a new TB yet. wait till you get your combo in mind. then get it. to many ppl dont know s**t and just buy the parts that they think will help out but they will never use that piece so it will be a waste of money.

do research then mod. dont mod then research.

your stock one is fine for now.
