Ok, but what about other factors like drivability and gas mileage?

the only problem that people seems reporting are high idle....You can't have better gas millage..If it's going to affect gas mileage it's not in a good way...shouldn't make a big difference anyways :shrug:

a bigger tb will give u better throttle response. that may improve your mpg slightly from not having to gas as much but i doubt enough to make a big difference.
