my friend has a 65 mm tb and I can stick my finger in the tb, and feel the ridge on the plennum inlet, which is only 60mm? if anything that would create a turbulence that could kill power?

Coupe5oh, I took a dremel and ported the inlet on the intake to match the 65mm tb, took like 15 minutes. Unless you get a bigger maf the 65mm tb is kind of a waste though. If you are never going to get heads, cam intake, then the TB and MAF are probably a waste of money, but when you plan on making those big investments you need the peripherals that will make them work to their potential, such as the tb, maf and exhaust. Mine was a slow build, due to lack of funds. First I did the exhaust, then the TB and MAF, then I did ca's, sub frames and the clutch, then I did pulleys and ignition and then over this past winter i finnally got the heads, cam and intake. Made my best run with the stock long block with the bolt ons last fall, 13.98 @ 96, and I felt there was much more left.
