no you will NOT benifit from a bigger TB till you do MAJOR internal upgrades. do a search this has been rehashed and stuck to death time and again. these engines have horribly designed heads that restrict airflow. they need to be P&P and have larger valves installed before you would need a bigger TB. besides what good would a bigger TB do ya if the the Intake plennum already has a smaller inner diamiter than the current TB.
A TB is basicly a Carb without the fuel part it performs the air metering function, and the injectors do the fuel side.
