well you could fit a larger one on, but the whole in the intake is 75 mm i believe, so there is no point and putting a bigger one than that on,

i've seen some people have the opening on the intake ported to match the throttle body, up to a 90mm... i dunno how safe it is but i've seen it done

Porting a BBK is pointless unless you have a C5 .

So would you recommend just porting the stock throttle body?
