On a standard motor with no modifications a 70mm throttle body will likely have no impact on power whatsoever. The standard throttle body flows more than enough for what is required. He may find an improvement in throttle response, but claims that he'll gain 10% more power are total bull.

maybe better top end but slower accel due to slower air speed thru throttle body .
