Default Edelbrock 75mm Throttle Body, Experiances with it??!!

Recently i've been looking at upgrading from my bored out stock tb to a bigger throttle body and sence I'm running 3" i/c pipes I thought I might as well just go with a 3" tb so all i'm looking for here is if you guys have any good experiances with these or not...
I'm mostly concirned about the tps sensor adjustability, and if it sticks..

Anything would be appriciated here. Here is a pic of the 70mm model.

Although is a good t/b, I wouldn't buy it again for a honda. It's a mustang t/b with an adapter plate and the tps doesn't plug in. You have cut the plug and hard wire it in.

on my speed pro, my tps % is around 8-11 at closed throttle and @ WOT its only about 83% my throttle body is a HOLLEY throttle body, and the aluminum throttle plate got slightly bent from use. also, it would stick slightly, when i let off, and the plate would return on its own.....coulda just been the bent plate though.

I have the Edelbrock 70mm TB for a mustang and to get it to work you need a plate. The plate runs for about $20 when I last checked on ebay. You have to use a mustang tps and there plug and splice and wire them together. Don't have experience with it but when my friend had it on his mustang it made a difference.

Good Day,
RH.

You cant use Hondata with it...well, Hondata wants to see a .5-4.5v TPS...That Throttle Body uses a 0-5v TPS...Neptune will work good tho.

been using the edelbrock 75mm with adapter plate for about a year now, no complaints, only had to hardwire the TPS, but that is no biggie if you know what you are doing

@BoostedJeff

could you show me some pics of your setup. I´ve got the 75mm TB too but I don´t know how to connect the idle vavle correcly?!

Thanx

Here´s a pic of my engine. There you can see the adapter plate to blolt on the tb to your intake manifold. I opened the intake manifold to 75mm, too on a milling machine.

I run this throttle body, works great. TPS has no adjustment, but didn't need it. I'll have to double check the wiring.
