i dont think u want to start with a tb. its better to start with a good cold air intake like moroso or k&n. then a good high flow cat back exhaust followed by some good headers and high flow cats. then u would want to go with a little bigger injectors. then a larger tb. a hp cam and polish the heads somewhere in there with some good rockers and lifters do the computer tune last.

throttle body is a waste until you're pushing 400hp...do like craby said...start with the basic bolt on(i think i've told you this) such as headers, exhaust, cold air intake, gears, torque converter if auto..then we start talking cam and heads which would require rockers and probably lifters and that's when you start talking about porting your intake and getting a different throttle body

whammer is correct.If your car is stock and you put a larger throttle body on it can actually hurt you,tb is only necessary once you done heads/cam.
