Default big throttle body

Has anybody out there had their throttle body replaced with a bigger (bored) one? If so, was there any performance increase? I've heard contradicting stories about gaining power and another useless mod. Any ideas?

Spoon makes a larger throttle body. (approximately $750)
ProFlow bores out your existing throttle body. (approximately $150 + exchange)

Gain is minimal, but with a lot of other mods, I think it would be worth it in the long run.

Toda head, Toda Cam w/ spring, Mugen ECU, J's 4.44 final gear, spoon lighter flywheel, bored TB, Spoon header, BYS straight pipe, and Amuse exhaust..!! then you are about done with the N/A (that is my list) you can expect the car to make 270'ish horse at the wheel, and could possibility make the 0-60 in around 5.1 sec.

[B]My plan is to get the Toda cams and I hope that they will make the bored-out TB worth the time, trouble, and expense.
