Default Vic Jr. intake elbow?

Can I use a smaller throttle body on the Edelbrock 90mm intake elbow?I just want to know if this is a dumb idea?I'm thinking 80-85mm.

Just a hypathetical question.Is this possible? I'm not even sure if this is the intake I want yet.Besides, I don't think a 5mm difference is that much.

Technically you could, but It would obviously be your biggest point of restriction. With that elbow and intake setup, there would be no practical reason to choke it down with a little tb, especially since it really shines up top where the largest amounts of air would be used.
