that rpm 2 will be way too big for your combo,...switch out to an explorer intake or the sort.

Basically I've noticed that with the different sizes, and I've had 3 diff ones on the same combo is this: the larger you go on TB size the more your intake velocity slows and you lose some of your low end power. For that combo you can do a 65 with no trouble and you'll feel great bottom end and it will not run out of air on the top end. If you use it for a while and need to step up just sell that one and buy a new one. You can unload a used TB on ebay easy for a good price and buy a new one. If you don't want the hassle of doing that then shoot for one that will give you some room to grow.

Your just confusing him David.

The idea is to match your combo.

- Congrats

68keyblr - The 75mm won't hurt your performance at wide open throttle while racing, but just understand you don't 'need' the air that it can provide.

Russ1979 - If you are going to run a 347 and are going to add boost to the mix (assuming aftermarket block/forged internals), get the 75+ mm...
