Author Topic: throttle body question stangless ¯ Member # 1414 posted                              ok.. i will be getting a cobra intake. What size t b do i need? People have told me that the 65mm tb is the ideal one. 75mm is too much. so.. how about 70mm? is that still too much? will it cost me a lot of torque? should i just wait for a 60mm to come about? thanks.

If you have a 65mm go with that, if you get a good deal on a 70mm then go that route. -------------------- 2003 Redfire "AED" Cobra R.I.P Posts: 3481 | From: Nor-Cal | Registered: Oct 2001  |  : 92stangLX ¯ Member # 3252 posted                              Unless your car is seriously modified (H/C/I and power adder) I would just go with a 65mm.

I don't know which one to get... i am comfused. this will probably be my last mod. they will both be at around the same price. So.. the car will have headers, offroad xpipe, catback, 410 gears, pullies and for now a 75 shot of nitrous( a 100 shot of nx after i get a fuel pump, tune, etc etc) and the aod will be gone and replaced by a tremec. -------------------- =( Posts: 4634 | From: bay | Registered: Jun 2002  |  : losbadgts ¯ Member # 4394 posted                              jersey i though u where not going to keep the nos, are u still selling it to me when i get some money, aslo what time do u whan to meet up on monday. -------------------- Why pretent someone u are not, everyone else could see it.
