Default Drilling the TB

I put a Comp 224/228 N2O cam in last month and after tuning it, the best we could, the only way we could get it to consistantly idle was to drill the TB out to 3/16. Now 95% of the time the car will stay idling and not hunt but it seems depending on the weather and temp it will.

Should I go to the next drill bit size or just leave it and live with it?
