I would go for the 70MM if your upgrading the engine HP. The dynos that I have seen have no loss on the low end like most people think.

Virtually no performance difference at your power level but the 65 will have better throttle response.

This is true, but i you ever plan to do a H/C/I I would suggest a 70mm.

You can do an aggressive HCI and still not have the 65 mm TB as the power bottle neck.With a 302,unless you have a power adder,stick with the 65mm.

I have a 65mm. I think anything more with the mods like I have is a waste.
