Throttlebody ?

Hey Guys,
I have a modified 1988 883 TPI IROC Z-28.
And currently I'm using a 58MM BBK throttle body. I've been offered a 62MM BBK with the TPS senser. Is it worth the swap?

Re: Throttlebody ?

Unless you think you're pulling over 900 cfm, even a 52 mm should be sufficient for a 383.
