Sounds like a great price, but I would say you don't need more than a 65mm tb unless you are going to go with new heads, intake and cam. You sure will NOT need new injectors or fuel pump until you have the heads, cam and intake and are well over 300hp. The HP claims that people and places make are often founded more in wishful thinking than in reality. Spend the money on a bigger MAF (C&L makes a nice unit), fuel pressure regulator (Kirban makes a nice unit), and start thinking about suspension stuff (subframes, upper and lower control arms) and good tires. You need to have a good idea of where you want to go with the car. If you are going to go with heads, cam and intake, a power adder (nitrous, supercharger or turbo setup), then it is a good idea to go with the parts that will support those systems, such as the 70mm tb, fuel pump and injectors etc. The problem is those parts won't do dick for you until you get the heads and or power adder. If you are going to keep the motor pretty much stock, save your money you'll just make your car slower. Do some research on the boards by searching topics and you'll get all the info you'll need. Good luck
