I'm debating between getting a 70mm or 75mm throttle body but have been hearing that the 75mm was only for heavily modified cars. Im running slp lm2's, high flow catted x pipe, and a bbk cold air. im leaning towards the 70mm but was wondering also wondering would i need to get a tuner as well?

yea i believe 70mm is for N/A cars and 75mm for boosted

70mm!

what do you plan on doing later to your car,if your staying mostly stock,70mm if you plan on going boosted then 75mm

Read this first...

The OEM plenum is the weak link, if you need to do things incrementally I'd get an after market plenum first, then a TB.

A 75mm TB is a bit of overkill on an n/a setup, however in practical terms it will only affect things at WOT and lower RPMs where there may be a bit of bogging--backing off a bit from WOT will get things moving again in this instance.

I got a 70mm and figured that if I was to go f/i then buying a 75mm TB for $90, and selling the 70mm TB for $50 on eBay, would be a $40 net cost--a very small chunk of what it will cost for a f/i setup...

As to needing a tuner, there won't be much to show for a TB/plenum without a tune--a bit better response up to redline is about it. The OEM 87 octane tune is very conservative, I recommend doing an exhaust upgrade first, then a tuner, then gears or TB/plenum, if you want butt-dyno detectable increases...

Thanks, that link really helped out a lot..I think Im just gonna get the 70mm and the plenum for now.

Yeah, do that and get a 93-octane tune (dyno tune) and you'll pick up about a dozen rwhp. That was my experience anyway.
