Depending on your mods, a bigger throttle body may not be worth the extra coin. If you have the money to spend, just go with the 58mm. On a fuel injected application it's almost impossible to go too big, if you're tuned for it. Lots of guys just throw one one without tuning and hope for the best. Fact is, a 58mm won't hurt you. While it may not be the best HP per dollar modification, it will still add a few HP on a stock/mild application (and more on heavier modified engines).

I've been running a Professional Products 58MM TB for over a year now and it has worked flawlessly. About 2 years ago I sold a brand new P.P. 52MM TB to a member here who hasn't had any issues with it either. Can't say the same about my previous $400 Holley
Shame because it was a beautiful piece of billet which I'd rather have than a chinese product.

the summit brand TB's are made by professional product. fyi.
i have a 58mm PP on mine. Just a couple small little bugs had to be worked out. It liked to stick closed after cooling down. it took a minute for it warm up and open and close normal. It seems to be better after a 2-3k miles. Also, the return spring isnt as strong so it makes the pedal feel real light. other then the normal tuning i really hadnt had a problem with it.
i didnt really gain anything at the track. it might of made my 1/8th mile stronger but its hard to say. There was a nice throttle response difference that i like.
