08 Type-S 3.7L Throttle Body Swap Questions

So I have 3 Questions.

I have a 2008 Acura TL Type-S 6 speed manual (Bone Stock)

I'm going to do the 3.7L manifold & throttle body swap.

1. Can i still use my stock 3.5L air intake box? Will it still fit over the 3.7L throttle body?

2. Is replacing the port runners worth it? Or should i just get the stock one's polished?

3. What is the bolt torque spec for the port runner bolts?

If you know the answer to any of these questions please reply.

Thanks in advance.

I had to use an adapter to connect the stock intake to the 3.7 TB.

What happens if i use a 2010 TL AWD 3.7 throttle body? Why the ZDX throttle body?

Honestly, Im just looking for a more responsive engine. Like when i give my car gas it bucks a bit from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd for some reason when I give it gas initially... then its fine. I've already have replaced the APP sensor and that didn't do anything. I also swapped out my throttle body with a used one to see if it was that. I was thinking the 3.7 IM and TB would help with throttle response and eliminate that initial acceleration bucking.... perhaps im wrong.
