sounds way to big, whats the size of the intake on the manifold, theres no point going bigger then that as the intake will be the biggest restriction unless you mod the intake manifold to suit the bigger throttle body

Actually some people believe that having an oversized throttle body and a big CAI setup can give a sort of tunnel ram effect into the manifold. I dunno how well it works i've only got hearsay evidence.

you could just get it, fit it, if it doesn't do anything, get rid of it OR fit a bigger cam etc and go for gold
