No, the standard TB at 65mm is huge for a 4L limited to 6000rpm.

Upsizing the TB will give you little or no performance gain . Not worth it.

The dyno runs in the avove thread were done on completely different days and were not back to back but if they were what auIILTD has posted is correct............
