Default looking for feed back on Edelbrock TB

i'm thinking about going w an Eddy Performer intake and the guy also has an Eddy 75mm TB that he was running w the intake. i was wondering if anyone had an feed back about that TB. good or bad.

What do you have done to the car? You can infact go too big. With mild mods, 70mm is about as big as you would want. But if you are running 19# injectors, you dont need a 75mm TB

I would say you def. dont need it. Not a 75mm. I have a 70mm and I have more than enough.... and look at my mods in my signature. Save your money and get like a 65mm. It would be good for your setup

Depends on setup, I mean, if you are going to get a serious set of Canfield heads and a extreme cam, then you are going to need to up the injectors and get like a 70mm tb or larger. I honestly dont know what to say a TB is rated for, like a 65mm might be rated to 350hp to be effective, I dont know, but if you go to big, your throttle response wont be good. I have read people say they have "down sized from 70 to 65mm because they just werent getting what they thought was good out of ithe 70mm and noticed a big + dif. with the 65mm. But I believe everything I read on the internet. How much does the guy want for the 75tb. I still think thats too huge, I think you would need a stroked engine for that. Get another opinion on here, someone will post soon. I would say though that with a 65mm you would be fine with heads and cam. I have the 70mm and I kinda think its too much but it was on the car when I bought it so.

Are you asking about the throttle body size or the quality of Edelbrock TBs?

Well a 75 TB won't hurt your performance but it ain't really gonna make power either.

The edlebrock tb as with most edlebrock products is s good unit....

But with that being said most TB are pretty much the same......

If you are getting a good deal by all means go for it.....
