It increases velocity which is good for low rpm torque.

It will be fine, there are people running 80mm MAFs with 65-70mm TBs.

Take off your MAF and measure the outlet side diameter...that is the size. If you still have the stock intake manifold, a larger TB will require you doing some grinding b/c the opening is only 60mm.....

You can get a different intake, but it won't give you much hp gain until you do something w/ the heads. spend your money on gears....much more bang for the $$$$
