Default Spoon 70mm throttle body, anyone?

Hey .

Does anyone here have a 70mm spoon throttle body in their engine?
I have had a few in my hands and all of them have had the factory butterfly which is 62mm. It's been a while and I would like to know if Spoon today actually sells a true 70mm throttle body with a 70mm butterfly. I haven't seen one.

Thanks in advance.

I had one and was a little disappointed when I found out that the throttle plate was 62mm

If you really want to true 70 mm TB you need to look at going with some thing like RPM services , Ericks racing, STR or something, The spoon is just a tapered bore.

Just so you know, the size of the throttle plate is the size of the throttle body. That is the only consistant size available. 50mm ITB's mean50mm throttle plates
