I've currently got a JLT CAI, BBK Long Tubes, Shorty X-Pipe, JPC Racing over axles, Borla ATAK axle backs, and BAMA Tuned. Wondering if a bigger TB is really gonna get me anywhere. Has anyone had any experience with a larger TB with a similar setup? Is it really worth the $$$?

Save your money. Apply it towards longtubes. Better yet, delete the cats gain 3 times the power of the throttle body for half the price.

not maybe, that would be obviously. Either way, I wouldnt waste my money on 5 - 10 horsepower. I was looking into a throttle body awhile ago. Not enough gain for the money spent in my opinion.
