90mm Throttle Body Too big?

I just got my new 90mm throttle body in the mail the other day and I was wondering what it was going to do performance wise to my car. Now let me say that I know its not going to pick up crazy power or anything stupid like that. I actually bought it because the new intake I am going to use requires it. As soon as a few parts sell I will be purchasing a pair of Dart Pro 1 heads and more than likely an XFI280 cam kit for the stock bottom end.

Will the 90mm tb hurt performance at all? If it stays the same then I am fine with that, I just don't want a major loss for some reason.

What intake are you using?? The Ram Jet? Every TPI intake I know about uses a stock twin 48mm, and the upgrades are twin 52mm and twin 58mm. LS1's can use 90mm and the Ram Jet does too.

I'm planning to use the new Edelbrock Pro Flo XT intake when it finally comes out.
