aren't you selling this car?

and i had a stock tb ported to 75mm and it was a decent improvement for the price. for $75 i'd say it's worth it. just make sure it's the right size tb cam for a 98/99 or you're gonna have to mod your throttle cable to make it work.

Since the intake is a little bigger than the stock tb it won't hurt and for the price I don't think you can get hurt.

the BBK should have a reducer that adapts the larger t.b. to the smaller intake opening along with a hardware kit and bracket for the t.b. cables that compensates for the different year cars..
You are better off spending the $75 on getting your existing t.b. ported instead..
