I have researched and found guys with the 2.3 mustangs are putting 80mm BBK TB from the 5.0 mustang, would this be an easy mod to do or will it be a lot of fabricating to make it work? if I can get it to work will I see any power gains?

You mean a 60 or a 65 mm throttle body?  Relatively easy swap from what I understand.  Biggest issue is pigtail connector differences on the sensors.

Curiosity abounds.....Is there a certain point where power gains Would be seen?  A certain amount of boost with the right cam and a ported manifold perhaps?

I am trading my saturn for a Kennwood XXV-05v DVD and a Optimua Red top Battry, and another performance part for my Turbo Coupe I was wondering should I get the guy who I am trading with to get me a BBK Throttle Body or a Force4 CAI. What do yall think I want the on with the most power gains I have a mild cam a 30 over valves and Roller Rocker arms (not sure the size) what would be the best power gain out of those tw I know the TB will add at least 12hp but will the Forced4 CAI do worse or better on power gains.

Doubtful. I've heard 6 or 7.  MAX.
And someone with far more 2.3 experience stated No power gians.  12 is reaching.
