Why not just use the one you already have. Use that saved money to buy something useful, like tuning. You'll gain much more HP per dollar than a throttlebody.

if you use that big of a TB your going to lose a lot of throttle response, keep stock one , am running a stock one for 400whp

agreed, who feeds these people that they will automatically need bigger this and bigger that? You can make over 400 with the factory unit.

i have a 70mm on mine, and i noticed a big difference when i changed from the stock b16 one to this one. i too have a skunk2 intake manifold. but if u allready have the money for good fuel management and tuning, then i say go for it, and i dont think 68 is to big considering they use 64-65 on all motor cars.

not worth it, especailly if you on boost, you are pushing air in instead of drawing it

very very small change
