Hondaguy72 is right. There is no way a larger bore throttle body will save fuel. In addition to what he said, the larger bore throttle body will decrease low rpm torque (increase higher rpm torque) which is the exact opposite of what we want.

I don't think you'd have a problem with lean conditions as the O2 sensor will ultimately correct for it.
