L61 TB Upgrade Question

So I have done tons of searching and cannot find a clear answer. I have a 2007 LT with a 2.4 Intake manifold and the stock 2.2 Throttle Body. I understandto go with a 2.4 (LE5) TB or LSJ TB you need a tune. My questions are as follows:

1. Is it even worth going with bigger throttle body? (I plan on getting a tune anyway)

2. If yes, is it worth going LSJ Throttle body or just sticking to the 2.4 (LE5) throttle body?

Any and all input would be greatly appreciated

fair enough, you have already been a great help the question is what are the differences between FE5 and LSJ and who is running the LSJ currently on their 2.4 IM on their L61

There is no Fe5 throttle body... 2.4l is le5 engine, Fe5 is associated with 2.0 SS balts suspension. Upgrading the throttle body only, will give you minimal gains. Get fully bolted and then get an lsj throttle body and tune

I would if i were you. You can buy new from rock auto for under a hundred bucks, make a harness for it to work and you will see better gains. More HP and a ridiculous throttle response
