Default Stock TB vs Aftermarket

I have a 97C5 with a Vararam, air bridge, LS6 intake, mildly ported and milled 243,s and a Stealth cam. Still running the stock throttlebody. Would I see any gain by going to an AM, should I just port the stock one, or is it not even worth messing with??? Trying to squeeze an extra 10hp out of her. Thanks to all in advance -97C5

I am currently involved with VMAX Performance on testing their 75mm throttle body on my 98. The initial results that are being seen are equal to what you are looking for. If you interested I'd contact VMAX and talk to Pete about it.

Probably want to go with an 85mm MAF as well.
