I don't know enough about this to be considered an expert but I will give my thoughts.

We desorkel and see a HP increase.
The "cold air intakes" increase air flow and we see a hp increase.
The new plenums that are being sold for the Cayman and 996, 997 models change the airflow and sees a hp increase.

So logic seems to dictate a larger TB will bring more HP.

I think this is something worth looking into, I would like to see pre and post dynoes along with track times.
