Probably not.

May be it will boost your performance,
you can create index on varchar which is not possible on ntext.
but still it depend upon the length of you data.

You can't create an index on an nvarchar(max), which is the replacement for ntext. Just replacing the data types is unlikely to have a measurable or noticeable impact on performance

database will flooded with GBs of data in each day .i used to archive data in day wise.
The actual problem is when querying some thing from huge data , to show it on a web page. then there the problem. Query time out occurs.
i used indexing .
I felt the query execution will be slower in querying for some data.?

Just changing ntext to nvarchar(max) is not going to magically make queries significantly faster. You need to identify what's slow and tune those queries.
