What other mods do you have? Spend the money elsewhere.

Just because it's a good deal doesn't make it a smart purchase

The larger throttle body will only really help improve the throttle response by letting more air get into the manifold quicker. I would do some research on the different brands because I know some have problems sticking such as the skunk, holley and I believe Blox.

If nothing else you could flip it and get something that will benefit you a little more.
