Default Can I expect more power by boreing out the carb then buying new headers?

After doing a good amount of research on how to slightly increase more power into my car without spending a lot of money. Ive come to boreing out carbs. When comes to boring out a carb how much more power can you expect out of a car? I have a f22b1 v-tech.....

omfg....if youve got a carbed f22, then youd already probably be makling alot of power already (see bisimoto's setup)....modern engines (for the most part), arent carbed, but use electronic fuel injection...

do you mean the throttle body and not the carb? than if so i would say it will make a little more power than stock. why do you think people buy larger diameter TB's?

My bad everyone I meant "throttle body" not the carb. Thanks for clearing that up for me and yes my car is fuel injected. I just used the wrong wording. Sorry about that.....

So are you saying a carb set-up could produce more power if it was bored out oppossed to fuel injected vehicles?

the throttle body wont he be teh biggest restriction, overboring ownt help a lot unless you ahve a lOT of other work done on teh engine.
at msot you will see very slight gains and slightly better throttle response. at worst you will lose a good idle and lose power.

It will be a waste of time for you at this point.
