Default cleaning the new toy...

so i just got done cleaning the mass air and the throttle body on my gs400, What difference can i expect? the car has 150,000 miles on it, runs at the low rpm that is typical, but otherwise its FAST AS HELL!! i have figured out that it has 3:91 rear gears and a 3k stall from the previous owner but what else it has im not sure yet. does cleaning the throttle body and mass air do much? It is the first time it has been done, just based upon the crap that was layered in the body itself. had to scrub it all out with my fingernails people! funky nasty gummy crap.

Cleaning won't hurt. I cleaned the throttle body when I replaced my plugs. Did not notice any big changes. The car idles much smoother now, but that's likely due to the plugs, not the cleaning.
