58mm TB or not?

hey guys i have got my stage2 heads and intake and im slowly gathering up parts i need. question is would it be worth it to get a 58mm tb or just stick with my stocker. the holes on the intake are opened up for a 58mm. it wouldn't hurt just to use my stock 48mm would it? or would it be worth it to go bigger. or better to use my money elsewhere? i just dont want my 48mm being too restrictive with my heads and cam set up.

From what I understand 58 will be waaaaay too big, and a lot of people will say that 52 is waaaaaay too big. It's up in the air though, but I don't know anyone who's done just a before and after of a bigger TB and given any results justifying $300...MAYBE 1 or 2 HP.........take that money and get a dyno tune....15 HP
