Just like its MAF, Nissan designs for minimal TB restriction at WOT max rpms.
Typical restrictions run less than 7" water column...........1/4 of a psi for each. [[NOT 100% additive]]. Unlikely that the entire air tract from outside thru everything to plenum has even 14" water column restriction.

For the past 8 years, manufacturers have utilized the 25" water column standard as this is what is used on a flow bench to measure the cylinder head restrictions.

Gaining a HP or 2 might be achievable at the risk of some downside in transistional smoothness or fuel mileage at the optimized 55-65 mph range [due to changed resonances in intake tract].

Drive by wire TB are expensive and finely tuned pieces of equipment.

LOL. For people who don't know exactly what language you're speaking, sure sounds friggen hilarious. I know you know what your talking about though, that's what matters.

350EVO offers a bored out OEM TB, but I would personally try to ECU from Technosquare as the problem is not with the TB, but with it closing prematurely towards redline.
