You lose a lot of throttle transition and resolution down low is all, and since the engine can only take in so much air, right around half throttle will equal full throttle. In a boosted application I match throttle blade to intercooler piping

Now all motor stuff is way different, but even then a 5.3 can only suck in so much air and a 75mm throttle body is most likely plenty
