is the  ZX-14 throttle body really worth it in your opinion. Any one ever dyno to see for sure?
Yes.  Worth it, 161.5 RWHP for Silverdammit and another got 165.  There is more there looking at the peak power plateau.  Not a ZX, but inching closer.  Close to a %20 gain over stock real world numbers.  More at the link.

I am already at 161.3 with PC5 and autotune with full AreaP and flies out.  I dont know if it would be worth my time to go with the bigger TB's

Maybe-the power band was so wide at the top end, that was the biggest difference on the track, mad pull with no surge.  If someone fabbed up a different set of snorkles and added velocity stacks I see plenty more in the motor.  Call me insane but I bet there is another 15 RWHP without a cam swap.  I wonder what other motor out there is so detuned as the C14???  A stock C14, roughly 134 RWHP, full pipe and a tune nets 27ish RWHP gain?  Not that it matters, I wonder what the gain is at the crank.

Exactly.  Dropping ten pounds would be a lot cheaper and net better results.

I am installing the PC5 this week. with two brother exhaust.. then off to a dyno tune. 

I am thinking about removing the flies.  I heard that you may get a surging issue.  Has anyone experienced that?  Also would ther be a difference between an 08-09 versus a 10+ when removing the flies?

I have an 2009.

Absolutely not...if anything it smoothens out everything just perfectly! Seeing you are going to have dyno time, it's the perfect oppertunity. Go for it, you won't be dissapointed!  :)
