        56mm TB from a 3400. Swap your linkage out and thats it. Instant noticeable improvement. Going further would require pulling the lower and upper intake manifolds for a large port setup.

          Change tire size and recalibrate the speedo.

          Or

                looks awesome, will i need to do any porting or exhaust work if I installed this? seems pretty simple bolt in, any issues i should be aware of such as slightly decrease gas mileage? im thinking it could go up maybe with the increase in hp

                  need to do porting/exhaust work? no.

                  would it be beneficial to making even more power? yes.

                  a larger throttle body alone shouldn't decrease fuel economy at all.... well, it might for the first few tanks since you'll inevitably be wanting to guage the difference in power, but after that, there should be no noticable change assuming you go back to your normal driving habits.

                      i haven't, but it is a very common thing to do for the reasoning of how little it costs compared to it's benefits.
