Default 68mm Throttle Body

looking on TAS auto parts, and they have a 68mm skunk2 TB that will bolt up to the 94-97 accord. i just wanted to know if any of you guys know the size of the stock TB on an 95ex and if any of you think that it'd be worth it. its 300, on there, and i checked out skunk2 's site, and they had it as 324 or something like that. just wanna know what ya'll think about it.
thanks.

Not sure about the stock TB size but unless you have some decent bolt ons then that 68mm TB will be a waste for you at this point. Usually Upgrading your TB is one of the final stages in your motor build up.

If I were you, I would contact "maxbore" and get your current throttle body ported and polished and your intake manifold opening as well.

if you are not built... or boosted... this will be as effective as installing a "tornado"...

thanks for the input, fellas. glad i didn't buy it, now. but a 'better' VTEC cam was mentioned, and i was wondering where i could find one or what to look for, and about how much they run. also, any of you guys know about how much a mild port job typically runs? i like the idea of working the SOHC, in case you guys didn't pick up on it. hehe.

i put a h23a throttle body on my 95 and it was a big improvment.
list of mods:
headers ??
no cat 2 1\4 all the way back
upped fuel pressure
had intake manifold welded around throttle plate(it is to thin to over bore)
h23a throttle body/
alot of tuning(advance timing/fuel/ platnum plugs
mobile 0-20 fully syntec.
was a champ.
i would do that before you spend any real money(cam upgrade)
