Just got my tb in... Wanna put it on now... BUT I don't know if it's too big without the cam... Would it just slow me down and waste gas? Or would it make a difference?
Yeah? Damn... That's wut I figured... I plan on portin and polishin when I get my headers and exhaust... Gonna do it all at once... Will auto zone sell a gasket big enough for a 70 mm?
Yeah... Didn't need one that big... My cams a .500 lift with a 273 duration so that wont really use the whole thing... I plan on eventually puttin a blower on it... Better too much tb than not enough though... Least that's wut I figure... Wut did u put on?

People hate TB's because they are expensive and dont offer any real power on stock engines, but it is a logical area to improve on when building your engine.
I also suggest a MAC or C&L 73mm MAF housing and CAI kit. It will compliment your 70mm perfectly. C&L claims something like 9hp with a properly sized system when installing the 73mm MAF housing and CAI. As for actually getting that, well it depends on your mods and the conditions and calculations of the dyno.
Now when you see your lower intake to head ports you will think Ford Crazy for making them so damn small. The exhaust ports on the heads are tiny also. When you get everything ported out you will see a lot better gains from that system, especially with a cam.
Yeah? I got this one from a friend of a friend for $110... It's slightly used but still in good condition... C&L? Can't say that I've heard of em... Wuts their full name? So C&L has a CAI that'll actually fit a 70 mm tb? Bad ass... I figured I'd have to customize somethin to make it work... Any links? Thanks...

That tells us nothing about your cam. We need the specs.
I am running a stock twin 57mm TB. Then again I don't have your average v6 motor.

Aight... I'll post em when I get back home... Don't have it with me now... Gonna have to sell the damn tb I just bought cause he sent me a friggin 5.0 tb instead of a 3.8 tb... Any suggestions? I was thinkin about goin with a BBK 65mm tb with their CAI too... Would that be too much tb? I'll post my cam specs tomorrow...
So u think a tb upgrade wouldn't hurt? I want a bigger one... But the whole point is performance... A tb isn't really a "looks" thing... lol But I just want to make sure increasing the tb size to 65 or 70mm won't decrease my performance instead of helping...
If your intakes are stock then the TB blade will hit the intake and therefor you cannot go to true 100% WOT. However porting the beginning of the intake will allow the tb to operate normally. You may lose some hp now that you're NA but when you go blown it'll help.
