What are your other mods?
As many people here will tell you, unless you have some serious motor work done the 58mm TB will be a waste of money. You won't gain anything from it and it may actually hurt performance.

For the money there are much better mods.

i have no other mods as of yet besides ported maf, and a flowmaster catback but plan to get hooker long tubes and mufx 4 inch cat back

Sounds like overkill!

With you current mods: ported MAF and catback - the TB and the 4" exhaust will be way overkill. It will most likely hinder you performance.

Here is what I would look at:
1. You need cold air induction. I would go with a morroso kit $170
2. Stay away from Bosch platinum plugs. Try the NGK plugs. They will last alot longer.
3. I wouldn't worry about the ported intake either. Unless you have ported and polished heads w/ a larger cam you won't see any benefit from the ported intake.
4. Try for a nice 3" catback exhaust. SLP Loudmouth, Borla, Corsa!
5. Hooker longtubes are nice, and should help performance. However the Hooker coating is junk. Get them Jet-Hot coated or Nickel plated if you can. That will keep them from rusting, and cuts down on the temps in the engine area.
6. A 160 degree thermostat, and the TB bypass mod are cheap and effective!
