What year is it? If its an 88 or up you should go with the 86-87 throttle body, as its bigger. Something else you might want to think about is a cam and a set of world products heads (ported of course). If you have it apart anyway to bore it, you might as well.

Edit: duh I just saw your name is big88b2, so I'm gonna guess its an 88. You should definately get the throttle body.

The most you can probably expect to really get is 170 hp. Or you can spend the money on a 5.0 and get 250 hp right out of the crate.
