You won't see that much gains if the rest of the engine/exhaust is stock, the biggest point of restriction is the intake plenum, get a 5/16'th spacer, mrev2 lower plenum, exhaust, THEN throttle body. Personally I wouldn't even bother with the TB unless going forced induction.
The best description I've heard so far about the TB is it's "like adding a tiny piece of wider straw to the middle of a narrow straw".
If you've done all the other mods I would take the money and get a lightweight clutch (if manual), otherwise dump it into the suspension.

Blindly throwing parts at the car is not the answer.. you will also need a tune to bring it all together and make it run awesome. Minimum upgrades would be a plenum spacer and tune, you could also do HFC or test pipes (depending on emissions requirements). After that HP gets expensive....

OP here's the blunt truth. Unless you're interested putting on a supercharger or a turbocharger you're looking at potentially several thousand dollars spent to gain 30-40HP. Only you can say if it's worth it to you for that. The VQ's were well designed from a power standpoint from the factory, if only they could have installed some better rings.......
