Default Ported throtle body gains?

I just ordered a fully ported and polished throtle body with the bump stop, half shaft, knife edge, fully ported, will i notice any differece? my car has magnaflow catback and a lid and when i put on the throtle body i will be doing the free ram air mod to the lower airbox. i was hoping for better throtle response mainly, also the throtle body is a 98-99 and my car is an 00 but i think that just means you have to adjust the throtle cable is this true? thanks for any info

After my ported throttle body.. I couldn't feel a difference...but I didn't have a before and after dyno so it might have gained a little bit.

alright i probably should have just waited until i got a ls6 intake and headers but o well, i hope the throtle response is a little better and if not its polished on the outside so at least it will look good and help out when i get the ls6 intake

I don't think you'll have to adjust the cable if it's just a p&p stock tb. I had to but there is a spacer between the tb and the intake.
