I am very happy with how the car is sitting, honestly, anything more would probably start becoming overkill for a DD street setup nor do I want to risk the stock block. I also am not willing to give up the awesome spool and response either, these two characteristics are a must for a street car in my opinion, losing them would take away a lot of the fun. The car is already faster than the vast majority of cars you'll encounter. If I ever decide I do want more power, I can always toss in some E85 or go with mild aftermarket cams.
You see it all too often, people install a large turbo and huge cams chasing down big numbers then sell the car shortly after because it's no longer fun and is a PITA to daily-drive. I'm having just as much fun with my car now as I did when I first bought it (actually more b/c of my mods) and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Any headaches it has given me are minor and short lived.
This is honestly the most fun and best car I've ever built; I learned from a lot of my mistakes with my Evo IX and made sure not to repeat them.

You really won't feel any different by just adding a throttle body. Now if you port your intake mani, do the tb, exhaust mani, and make sure all your stuff is hard pipe, then you will feel a difference for sure. On that note as well is with a retune your gonna see gains. Prob is your gonna have restrictive free up to the head and until you get that done, your not gonna fully get the full gains you would expect. But without doing the head you will see nice gains that you may be able to feel. The name of the game is basically how smooth of a transistion the air gets into the motor.
