Default Throttle Body Options

I know skunk2 and s0s offers larger throttle bodies, but what other options are out there for an 05'?

I am currently n/a, but plan on going f/i in the far future....so nothing overkill at the moment.

thanks.

SOT uses a 76.2mm TB on the Supercharger kit wonder if they would be up to making an equivalent for the NA guys

BDL makes tbs in 63, 66, and 70 mm diameters

Skunk2 also makes tbs for the s2k

Larger tb on a NA car is not going to get you anything but slightly better throttle response. The oem tb moves all the air the head can breathe without going FI.

If not doing anything too extensive past bolt ones, don't bother with a TB. If you're trying to go with a full build and shift the power band then you might want to change the size along with a custom manifold with the proper runner diameter and length for what you're trying to do.

Sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead but i've got a couple of questions:

What are the pros and cons of honing out the stock TB? and would it lose power if i were to upgrade into a skunk2 70mm TB? is it an exact fit, no other stuff needed to get replaced?
