    With no other mods to your car, then the potential gain would be about zero.
    The stock throttle body is adequate enough with a stock car. Also I have read that machining it out more than 69mm can make the walls too thin and it can break.
    I have got a 69mm throttle body and all it really did was mess with the shift points, damn annoying too. Had to get it fixed when I got it tuned.

    like any mods always best tuned.
    you probly wont see any power gains even with other mods, but you will get better throttle response
