Generally speaking, that large of a TB is going to require some tuning via the PCM. How much you can get away with and what any ill effects there would be Im not sure. I would say that that much more air would have you running incredibly rich and being too rich can be just as problematic as too lean.

Which 3.1 do you have? Is the 8th vin digit t or m> If the digit is an m then the throttle body is made into the intake like the 3.4 dohc vin x engine is but. On the vin t 3.1 engine the part of the tb were u connect theair duct to it oval but the uim said is round.
