Hello Everyone. I need some opinions, I have heard a lot of different things about throttle bodies. I found one for a good deal, its a 70mm, I'm wondering if i should get it, will i feel a difference in power, or throttle response, etc...?

have you done anything else to your car? 70mm is going to be bigger than the intake opening on a stock intake, but if it's a killer deal, snag it up. You will probably feel quicker throttle response, but doubtful you'll feel any power in your seat unless it's a choking point on your engine currently.

Its pretty stock, Its got O/R H pipe, Flowmasters out back, 3.73's, 3500 stall, & I just bought some Headers that i'm installing hopefully this week. Over the summer I was planning on a H/C/I combo... Should i wait?

I say pick it up if its a good deal, down the road or even now you can install it and be happy with it. Its always a good first bolt-on piece.

Yeah, I was just looking up Heads, Cams, Intake, etc.. I'm hoping to start ordering parts next week. Also, I have a friend who has those wheels (The 10th anniversary's in anthracite NO aluminum lip. I have a Midnight Blue Metallic hatch like yours, do you think it would be worth it to buy the rims off him for 300 with no tires? Do you think they'd look good?

Yeah sure they would look good, that would be an awesome color combo, wheels would really look nice against the dark blue. I had thought of going with black and the polished lip 10th anniversary but decided to go with the gunmetal. I say buy them good price for 300.00
