You will gain next to nothing by putting a bigger TB on it because it is not the restriction in Your setup which is Your head's. You will see way more of a gain with underdrive pullies as compared to the TB. To be honest the best HP move You could make "after the mass air conversion" would be a set of used GT 40 head's like these for $400 http://www.clickclickracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7263&highlight=gt40+heads this alone would wake Your car up to the tune of 30-40 HP & I know indicated that You wer'nt going to do do more than the TB & mass air but if You are going to spend the money You might as well buy part's that are going to make a difference.

It would be some $ for install but if You could find a buddy who has done it before to help out then it's a piece of cake.
