Default skunk2 70mm v. 74mm TB

ok so i'm lookin at throttle bodies for my RSX-S to go with my skunk2 intake manifold and i was on passwordjdm.com about to order the 70mm throttle body but then i saw the 74mm black one and i'm just wonderin if i'm better off payin the extra like $20 and gettin the 74mm. i'm thinkin i should go with the 74mm cuz i'll be able to ge more air in, but i just wanna know the pros and cons of both or any opinions. thanks for the help!

The larger the throttle body, the harder it is to manipulate throttle control. I've heard from people with 70+mm that the car drives like a motorcycle.

Why do you even need a larger throttle body? There's people making 400+hp with 65mm throttle bodies.

yeah I agree, both are overkill/unnecessary.

Spend your money elsewhere
