Default Porting a Throttle Body

Hey fellas,

I'm considering spending close to $200 for a ported 90mm throttle body. I have a 2012 ZO6 with an ECS centrifugal supercharger kit and aftermarket heads and cam as well as headers.

How much power and torque should I gain? Is it worth it?
Will I notice better throttle response?

Thanks everyone!

Thanks Doug. I'm going to hunt for a deal on rear wheels that will clear my carbon ceramic brakes and tires to match!
