Exactly in rpm range you'll be cruising at.
I agree, but the OP isn't talking about changing his entire IM, just the TB, so I don't think that really applies, and if it does have some positive effect in that regard, I'd say it would be mitigated by the ECU compensating for the larger TPS reading at likely any given RPM.
