In my opinion, save your money. I bought a ported/polished TB back in '94, changed it at the track and found no improvement. I've made a lot of changes since then and recently tried a borrowed F&B 50mm TB. Again, no improvement at all on the track. Nothing different with driveability either.

As others, I have ported my 4.7, stock 68mm TB.
I think it was CW, that posted on this earlier this year, he recs. a #60 dremel tool wheel. I think that's what I used.
On the 4.7, I mainly just removed the 'hump' at the bottom of the TB when you look at it from the front, with the air intake off.
Could I 'feel' the diff? not really
I don't dyno, or run the track with my QC.
I do feel it may help though, every little bit, especially when it cost next to nothing.
01 4.7 QC 5spd HO cams no belt fan/clutch, ported TB, IAT adj, homebrew intake W/ K&N, etc.
