I need to find out at what point should I swap for a 70mm or even 75mm TB. My desire is to get a new upper plenium but I will also be doing a lower intake swap to a PI and probably a cam swap to the Comp 268's or Crower's 62811's. I will have stock NPI heads also. Would I be fine with the stock 65mm with swap to new plenium? Also should I swap MAF at the same time or would that be a waste NA?

well you can do a stock t/b with a plenum, you just wont get as much hp out of it obviously. & depending on which plenum you get, will determine which t/b you should get. for instance: a c&l works better with a 75mm t/b, but a accufab works better with a 70mm (info courtesy of 01trueblue
soooo..... is the youngin' not getting the stang now?
I saw both write-ups on the 70 and 75mm TB's. But unfortunaly there were no numbers on the stock TB w/pleniums. Now that I've been researching a little I'm not sure the pleniums fit on a stock 65mm TB. It also looked like they worked better with the 70mm than 75. I think the 75 would come into play when your hp numbers were getting into toe 350 and up range and I'll never be close to that.stimmler said:check out Matts write up on modulardepot.com

Well...some version of it anyway. Most of this stucff can come off if I decide it is too much.

You don't need a 75mm. Yes the MAF is worth it. I tested mine with the stock MAF and my 85mm C&L, and it was a no contest win for the C&L. You barely feel the plenum and TB with your stock MAF, at least I couldn't tell. Much better throttle response with the MAF.

With the numbers in one place to look at it seems the 70mm TB does best with the minimal mods/HP. The 75mm did better in MM&FF article because that car was laying down 400hp.

Be sure and look at not just the peak numbers, but he is right, the Accufab outperformed in both cases.coramprat said:70mm Throttle body
