throttle body, yay or nay?

would putting a larger throttle body on a B16 w/bolt-ons and CTR cams be worth my time? is there any performance gain?

I don't understand; the blue line connotes the 69mm TB and it has higher peak hp. The red line has the smaller 62mm TB and it has a lower peak hp. Also this was done on a GSR motor which has a different head than a B16.

i agree to a certain extent...if you are talking bang for your buck, No is the correct answer. but, its not really a waste, because the added throttle response is nice. i usually get mine ported, but in the end, it doesn't do much, numbers wise.
