Default Throttle Body?

Alright well I am looking to upgrade the performance of my car and I was looking into throttle bodies. I currently have a 52mm TB and was wondering if upgrading to a 58mm TB would be worth the price. Also by upgrading to a bigger TB would I have to upgrade/change anything else, or should it just fit right up in place of the smaller one. Thanks

I wouldn't do it unless you are a Stroker, or Forced-Induction..

If you go larger than 52mm you will have to take your intake manifold to get bored out to match the TB or you wont gain anything, the holes in the intake are only 52mm.
