Default Is This Throttle Body Too Large?

I have a 75mm Professional Products Throttle Body that came on my car. From all the posts I have read, it seems that it is oversized for my set up. I can get a used BBK 65mm throttle body from a friend of mine.
Would I see any performance gains by switching to the 65 or should I just leave the 75mm on?
I have read that your mass air size should be larger than the throttle body size. (i.e. 76mm mass air to 65 mm or 70mm throttle body) It should create a funneling effect.
I mainly use this car for Drag Racing and occasional short drives.

Yes, might be better if you use a slightly smaller TB, but i would say a 70mm not a 65mm.

With the switch you might not notice any difference....the main reason is that you are missing the most important part you need to take care of: HEADS.

So my recomendation, save the money for some good heads.
