Throttle Body Inquiry
Jaw, did you do any dynos of before/after with the TB? I'm going with CAI, and T1R 70mm + test pipe and possibly a header if I can find a good used one. I'm just wondering if this even does anything. Since the Intake manifold stays the same size, I'm skeptical of whether or not any more air can really be moved through. For the price though, if it added a couple horses, it'd be worth it to me. I may just keep the money for when I go FI/gears
Still though, that is damn cheap...

I installed the AEM V2 almost 4,000 miles ago and then installed the Berk Technology test pipe about 800 miles ago. The next day, my car was down while Jim from Pro Flow was working on my throttle body. In other words, I essentially installed the test pipe and throttle body at the same time.
All I know is that I felt a very nice gain with the addition of the test pipe and throttle body after the AEM V2 on my F22C. Maybe it's an F22C thing, but there are some gains and I'm pretty happy with my results, especially for the little I spent.
IMHO, the larger throttle body does very little for a stock engine. You will see a quicker throttle response down low due to the increased opening but no real hp gain.
Boosted applications do much better and may see 15hp or more from the enlarged TB.

Thanks for the info, Sideways!
I will probably invest in the 66/70 ProFlow TB now and hope for 1hp, and use it as an incentive to go SC someday!
