i put the stock tb back on the car and it runs so much better. no more hanging idle and the car is more comfertable to drive. i think it is safe to say the 70 is to big for what i have now. do you think i should stick with the stock tb until i get either heads or a poweradder. would it be worth it to go for the 65 with the stock heads. i will probally just sell the bbk and get some gears. what do you guys think?

the 65mm is much more manageable. you may want to try adjusting the idle screw on the throttle body before ditching it...it may be set too low causing drivability problems.

you might wanna try drilling a small hole in the middle of the throttle body plate on your 70mm, it helps in a lot of cases. the stock one has that done as well

65mm will be fine on a stock engine
