You really dont need a new TB, I would go with somthing else maybe new intake.

He means a new intake manifold

Im not sure but I don't think a new maf and tb will do much untill you get a new intake manifold

Yeah thats what I meant, Intake Manifold, All A TB and MAF do is allow more air into your intake, meaning bigger hole more air can flow through your engine, but its not really noticable unless you have more mods such as Cam, Intake, heads, ects...

Yep it should say 5.0 HO or something on it. You will notice a small difference in peroformance but until you get a different intake manifold there will be no huge gains.

thats right bc you can only push as much air as the intake ports can fit. With a new intake the ports a bigger so more air can flow into the engine. more air = more HP

not always true. to much air doesnt add HP. you need the corresponding fuel and spark to take advantage of the incoming air
