[B]damn you have you not read anyting on this site b4 you purchase

ok ill let you on a few little secrets

*if you dont plan on running aftermarket heads then sell you TB and use the stock on
*70mm tb is only good for motors with heads/intake/larger cams..if you try to use it on a stock motor you will loose down low and you wont be able to make it up top cuz the reast of the induction system wont benifet from it..belive me..i go mid 11's with a stock TB(high 12's on street tires off he juice)

I bought this car with all the mods it has now including the 70mm throttle body and don't have the stock one. I plan on eventually getting a supercharger (not quite sure on exactly what i want yet). For right now i'm not going to touch the block except for getting a windage tray, new timing chain/gears (stock replacement) and the intake manifold has a leak and since i'm going to pull it off anyway i wanted a good street intake that i can build up to. I rather would have a 65mm throttle body, but i don't want to spend my money on that right now.
The whole reason i decided to buy this stuff now is because i have to pull the engine anyway and reseal the oil pan and intake manifold.
I fully realize that the exhaust and intake may be a bit much for the engine right now and the addition of a supercharger (leaning towards a roots type) should help make that less of a factor and when i'm ready monetary wise i'm going to build an all out engine with expensive heads, etc. but for now i can't afford that (in school).
.....oh i also forgot to add initially that i have 3.55 gears so i'm usually at 2000 plus RPM most of the time.

Thanks for all the replies
