I'm not really sure a bigger throttle body is going to help you much unless you get up in the 10lb + range for boost. Having said that, I'm running a 70 mm BDL TB. Not sure what it contributes in terms of hp, other than acting as a compliment to a high-boost setup. Remember that in order for a bigger TB to make any difference you'll need to port-match your intake manifold to it also.
Re: the BDL TB specifically, the spring is super stiff. It takes a little while to develop the right touch to get the car moving w/o stalling. At the same time, that works great for me b/c anytime someone asks to drive the car, i tell 'em only if they don't stall it the first time

Pro Flow will bore out your stock one to I believe 68mm and it will match up with your stock manifold.

I'm currently running the SOS on my car now and love it.
King offers the same type of service but I am not sure if they bore it al the way to the Throttle plate. SOS must taper the TB all the way to the TB/plenum interface since they replace the throttle plate.
