don't worry I'll send you some royalties, nobody messes with tb's on auto engines, its called blueprinting in the kart engine world where every .5 hp counts - I understand what you mean though

Get the 70mm unless you plan on getting a supercharger, then you can upgrade it to a 75mm.

Get the Accufab plenum and 70mm TB. Best power gains.

I believe it is 80mm...its whatever comes stock on 04 GT's...I think i saw somewhere it is 80 though...I'm thinking about going with the Pro-M 85mm MAF...would that help out the gains of the TB and Plenum?

I have seen dynos (many) that show the install of a plenum (C&L, accufab, whatever) around 5-10 RWHP. Then they swap out the 65mm T/B for a 70 or 75 and only gain 2-3 more RWHP.

The throttle body is not a very restrictive componet in a n/a GT, espcially one with no cams/head work. Whichver you buy will be fine, there will be virtually no difference in horsepower (although some people claim they feel a diff in "throttle response, probablyi just their imagination)
