Default Throttle body

Hey I found these on ebay and I was wondering if anyone has tried or knows anything about em. The guy says that the 65mm is for cars with out modified intake manifolds and that 70mm is for modified. Would you guys agree?
70mm
65mm

What problems could these have?

70mm for a highly modded car most people just need a 65mm

That is correct about the size. These are professional product TB's which are knock-offs of the BBK's. For the price they are worth it. Many ppl have stated good things about them. I have also heard some bad things like whistling and the TB sticking open at WOT.

Thats a good throttle body. I got the professional products 70mm on my 95 GT. You can see the mods on the bottom of this post. My dads got their intake and their 70mm throttle body on his 86 G. They make pretty good stuff. We have never had problems out of it.(Also got a bbk on a 95 Cobra and the throttle sticks sometimes)

I was JUSt looking at racersoulet's store, some decently priced stuff in there that I plan on getting from them. I'll save 2-300 bucks over going through summit, plus you can combine ship, buying stuff all at once from the guys.
