Default Does a 58mm trottle body help???
Does a 58mm trottle body give any noticable power gains to a mostly stock car??? Also what would be a good short throw for a 96 6-speed???

Not really. You can only get so much air into a port. Bigger heads and stroker motors are good things to put a bigger TB on. Also anything with forced induction.

Invest that $200-$300 somewhere else, you will get better results.

I dont think it would help that much. You might also loose some throttle response.
