A TB and IM are simple bolt ons that wouldn't require tuning. However, getting K-pro and a tune will definitely help you bring out those mods.

Also, look into a Hondata IM gasket.

+1 to everything he said.

K-pro would definitely open up your motor and easily get you an extra 15-20 hp. You aren't getting the most of your current, and future for that matter, bolt ons running on a stock ECU.
