Just a few more questions I thought of before proceeding:
1. What are the torque specs for installing the strut bar back on?
2. Torque specs for when re-installing the TB's?
3. Just wanted to confirm to use the star patter when re-installing the TB's?
4. Would the re-learn/calibration procedures be completed immediately after putting the TB's back on without turning the vehicle on or should this be completed after driving around after cleaning the TB?
*Tried searching the forum but couldn't find this info.

I mean....if you really want my opinion...
1. Doesn't matter, tight.
2. Doesn't matter, medium-tight.
3. Doesn't matter.
4. This I don't know, I would assume this only matters if you were physically forcing the butterfly valves to move which seems stupid at best. Just spray a healthy amount of throttle body cleaner and gently wipe everything off with a paper towel. It won't be perfectly clean but it'll get it 90-95% better, which is good enough.
I've taken these throttle bodies off maybe a dozen times at this point, don't over think it. You'd have to do something hilariously stupid to harm anything.
