i say 75 but it would free up horse power but a 70 would do the same but seems like your trying to mod so witha 75 youll have room to grow and wont need one in 5 months

hard to say. However, 65mm is fine, dont upgrade until you NEED it. You don't need it right now.

I don't see anything wrong with the 65mm TB either. Get it to the track and find out. Good luck.
