doubt it would do much good. you still have the bottleneck at the intake

I agree. No pointin a bigger TB if you're still going through the restrictor. It's just moving the restriction and adding more turbulance than if you used a stock "flush mount" TB unit.

I agree as well. I had my Edelbrock TBI intake bored to match my 454 TBI.
