You don't need a bigger one, in fact unless you run boost or get a cam/head upgrade there is no need for a TB at all really.

unless you don't really care about seeing how fast your really going you'll need to get a tuner or if your strapped for cash a speed calibrator for 99$ on am

For 4.10s the best route to go, is the gears -250 differential -300 Tuner -500 bearing kit -50 fluids -50 and install 100-300 depending on shop.

Alright, I'm just going to throw you under the bus now instead of later..."free tunes for life" not on a dyno, means ****. You ever throw a cam, stroke it, forced induction of any sort you'll be paying a few hundred to sit on a dyno and make sure that the packaged tune they gave you isn't a POS.

I went through Justin over at VMP who is probably THE BEST v6 tuner in the nation, and still sat on a dyno at a reputable tuner, who Justin taught, for 5 hours...

"Free tunes for life" is a bit over hyped. The fact that 99% of tuners out there use SCT programming, it retains three different tunes, aside from stock, and the datalogging (which isn't as good as diablos) is the reason why you spend $379 over the sniper tuner or the superchips tuner ect, ect.

Don't want to jump *** or anything, just giving people this false sense of security with their cars irritates the **** out of me with anyone.
