Default Top Secret Larger throttle body

Anybody install a larger throttle body on their Z/G. I was looking at the Top Secret 100mm larger throttle body found here:

http://www.topsecretjpn.com/engine.shtml

Anyone know what kind of gains (if any) this would provide. Would tuning be required? Is it even worth it?

Problem with this Throttle body is that it is NOT drive by wire. You would have to connect a cable insted of plugging it into the drive by wire system.

And you would need some sort of engine management to make it work.

I had mine bored out by Proflow designs. Didn't make that much difference.

Exactly. For the cost just go accufab and go with a throttle cable like we had to do for racing.

Has anyone tried out a GM LS7 throttle body yet? They are DBW, but I would assume you would need an EMS to configure the TPS.
