Exactly, that's why I made my original comment about the larger plate.

BTW, it looks like an exchange program with the throttle body, so they're probably just reworking stock parts and adding their own throttle plate.

Also, throttle plates can be modified to be more aerodynamic when fully opened. Things like knife-edging and shaft smoothing can be done to improve flow.
