thats too much, choose either a 70 or 75..and if you want some better gains, get a plenum to go with it

Yes, stick with one of those, the only need for one that big is like a huge drag only, turbo set up. The accufab 75mm combo makes a nice improvement

Yes, they offer both a 70 and a 75mm combo. I would suggest the 75 over the 70 for the few extra bucks that it is.

if you are staying around stock (No power adder (NOS, S/C, Turbo)) than get 70mm. If adding the power adder go 75mm.

You arent going to notice a loss either way. If you actually lost hp between the 75 and 70, youd never know.

im keeping my 70mm even when i get supercharged...i keep hearing 70mm provides more torque down low but the 75mm provides more hp up top..i wish i could quote the person who said this

Is a throttle body and plenum actually worth it?

If you have to save for it, no.
If youve got some extra cash to blow, sure.

if u ask me ..yea its worth it....
This mod works best once you pass 3000 Rpms at WOT. I can feel the car accel a bit faster than it did before, after 3000 rpms..

Yes, but I wouldnt have paid full price for it if I didnt find the deal I did. There is just way more important stuff to use 415 bucks for, like suspension.
