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.

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.

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.
