65mm vs 70mm??

[sport200]

Hey, I'm thinking about going to a 70mm throttle body. I have a 65 now, has anyone done the (HP) numbers on these?

Depending on your mods, it may do little to nothing.

IF you go with the bigger throttle body, you will need to bore out the opening of your intake. How big is the Cobra intake stock?

 

[sport200]

I can feel that the intake side is bigger than the throttle body side. Thats why I was wanting to do this? any ideas?

Cobra intake inlet is 70mm


you could prob run a 70mm, might gain a few ponies, but i wouldn't count on huge gains.

Unless you are getting a deal on the 70mm, I think it would be a waste of $ and gains would be very minimal at best.

My vote would be finish off the rest of your exhaust if you want your car to breathe better.

A highflow catted midpipe and or a catback would do a lot more for you.

I have a bbk h-pipe no cats, 2 1/2 -2 chamber flowmasters with turn downs?

The Cobra throttle body opening is actually 65mm.

I switched from a Cobra with the appropriate 65mm throttle body to a Tmoss ported GT40 tubular with a 70mm t/b (the GT40 has a 70mm opening) and picked up 5 horsepower and 12 lb/ft of torque at the rear wheels. I would attribute most, if not all, of the gain to the porting rather than the t/b. Other mods can be found in my sig.

.

I was referring to the inlet of the upper intake manifold.

I have a 65mm TB on my Cobra Intake and there is a lip in there, so i'd imagine it's slightly bigger than 65. Not sure if it's 70 though

 

[wythors]

On my Cobra intake, the Edelbrock 65mm t/b fit perfectly.

I'd skip it. Might make a bigger difference if your car was forced induction, but I doubt you will feel anything at all by switching. Put the money toward porting your Cobra lower. That would yield better results (in my opinion). The rest of the motor seems set up pretty well.

I'd work at getting your set up to run the absolute best it could before you start throwing other parts at it.

MM&FF did a TB test years ago on a car with moderate mods like heads & intake and they found that the 65mm provided the most hp over stock. The test car actually made less power (than the stock 58mm TB) when going to 70mm and larger TBs.

Spend your money elsewhere.

I am gonna say that the gains your gonna see from a throttle body swap with your current mods are going to be minimal. Get some gears Instead or pick another MOD.

Spend the money on an 85mm MAF w/ a power pipe.
