It will not be "too much air", because the intake does not push air into the engine, it just makes it available for the engine to suck in. A less restrictive/"bigger" intake makes it easier for the engine to such air in.
The negative effect of too large a TB (and IMHO 85 mm is too large, way too large, for an n/a 4.6L 2V) is that at WOT there will be a reduction in charge velocity in the intake manifold. The lower charge velocity will actually reduce the amount of air entering the engine.
The extent to which this impacts performance depends on a lot of other factors.
