Default Granatelli 70mm throttle body advice please!

Hey Guys,
Just went to my local JBA shop and the guy there showed me a 70mm Granatelli throttle body for my 6'er said he's installed them on a few 05+ mustangs and they love them.
He said the part to be about 500 and labor at 90 for hr.
Any feed back on this mod guys?
He claims that I can expect crisper throttle response and HP gains (about 11 HP) Thanks in adavance

Hi John thanks man for the reply do you think it's not worth it even if it's 70mm (larger than stock)?
I figured if more in than maybe more HP ...... is that wrong?
