I wonder if that would work on an NA car and if there's any power gains?

This question goes along the same lines as a post I made last week:
Is this a good idea on a car with stock motor? I am already on the borderline of what is generally considered safe hp levels. Would this require a re-tune?

Yes you would need a retune... I am in the same boat you are in.. I want more HP, but have just about reached my limit. At this point the only thing I can do is port my heads and that will give me more HP, but at the same time lower my boost (PSI) which lowers my chances for detonation.

That is the black diamond widemouth throttle body. I run that on my car with a whipple @ 16psi, and a sheet metal intake for the supercharger, along with a 4 inch intake tube.
Accufab makes a polished version.
Here is a write up (video) I did on it:
whipple with ST Motorsports intake setup
Honestly I don't think this is the throttle body for anyone n/a. I would go with the GT500 throttle body if you have all the normal boltons and aftermarket cams / heads.
Where this throttle body shines is on twinscrew applications pushing 13 psi of boost or more. Below is a picture of the stock throttle body, the BBK, and the widemouth.

Yah, I know. Not cheap!
