Default Bigger Throttle body

I have a 2000 LX and am planning on buying a short ram intake for it, and am considering abigger throttle body. I don't have enough cash to buy a brand new aftermarket, but I know that different engines have bigger throttle bodies and intake manifolds, and I was wondering which would fit on my car and would give me the most power gains.

You really wont see any gains with a bigger TB unless you have a built engine. If your car is stock besides the intake you are gonna be putting on then put the money you have for the TB aside for a header or Exhaust.

You won't get the most out of a ported throttle body unless the intake manifold is port matched. You'll probably feel the most from a bigger throttle body/intake manifold if you have the head ported and go with a bigger cam.

TB will gain like 5-10hp on a huge turbo build. It won't gain anything on your motor.

Alright, thanks for saving me the trouble. I'll go with the intake and maybe a header and some cams.
