Hi I have a few questions about a intake setup that I might get. The intake is a Edelbrock Performer EFI upper and lower. The TB is a BBK 75mm and C&L 73mm mass air. The intake also comes with 24lb ford racing injectors and a fuel regulator. I can get all of this for $500 but I think the throttle body might be to big. The current mods my car has are BBK headers, BBK H pipe no cats, BBK CAI, Borla exhaust, but the car also has a crate motor from ford with the E cam and I think GT-40 heads. Its rated at 285 hp. Is this a pretty good combination? Thanks josh

Sounds like a good setup to me, especially if it has GT40 heads. The TB shouldn't be 'too big' because it's just an air valve, the engine will only suck in as much air as it needs. 'Too big' injectors would be a somewhat different story though.

Nothing you've listed is too big at all. JUst make sure the inlet is port matched to 75mm so theres no restriction.

Do you think that the injectors would really help that much? Also would that be ok even if it dosent have GT40 heads because I'm not 100% sure? Thanks

You could sell them along with the meter. You dont need them now. Or just buy the intake and tb if you havent bought anything yet.
