Default 70mm throttle body?

Will a 70mm throttle body fit on my stock 5.0 motor with no problems? Or is it too large to attach to the intake?

It will fit, but you'll get no benefit from it. Spend the money on something else.

My buddy has a HCI 95 Cobra with 300 rwhp, and recently installed a 70mm tb. Even he said he couldn't tell a difference.
