Default 52mm TB

Do you need to step up to a 52mm on a 350 motor with heads and 219 to make more hp?

People will say overkill, but I went to a 58mm TB... Lots more throttle response, that was worth it even if it's too much. ; )

I got a moderate increase in power when I jumped to the 58MM.

I have heads, cam and a bunch of other crap.

I think I gained 3-6 on both readings, after retuning.
