When i got my STR 68mm (thanks Boostfed!) it pulled a good deal harder on the top end and it was a noticable differance. Also if you want to keep your daily drivablitly don't put a aftermarket TB on the spring is so much stiffer and it is either open or closed (no it isn't sticking) that is my opinion. U want a bigger TB have yours bored out to 64
