With bolt-ons, a bigger throttle body will not be beneficial. I would save the money towards something else.

No need for it till you have a cam or ported heads.

Depends on the engine. Some folks make gains, some dont. I think Madwolf actually lost something like 10rwhp going to one with his camm'ed LT1. I wouldnt recommend spending the money on ignition, but a cam is always a good idea. Gears and or a clutch upgrade would be beneficial also.

I agree a set of gears would definitely feel good in the car. You can go with high ratio with the 6 speed. The TB isn't worth it. Ours flows just enough.
