Whats your guys opinion on running large throttle bodies
Im looking into ditching the stocker and looking into the new Edelbrock 70 or 75mm tb. I know it makes tuning a little bit harder at idle, but thats one thing that needs to be played with anyways with any standalone....throw some 1000cc injectors in there and it makes it even more fun 
Does anyone have a large tb like this on their street car? Any dyno comparisons at all to see if they make more power and where?

Unless you are running larger than 2.5 IC piping I don't see a benefit. My stock GS-R TB is the same size if not slightly larger than my 2.5 IC piping.

I don't know how big the throttle body is on your particular car. However, I do know that the throttles on all 92+ Integras (simply because I have the most experience with them) are big enough.
You will not see a gain unless there is a pressure drop through the TB, and there will not be a pressure drop with those unless you are flowing a TON of air.
