Default TB question

I was getting my intake elbow changed and when they took it off, I noticed I had a Hypertech airfoil on it( I got the car a few months ago and It already had the mods.I'm finding more mods as time goes along). I was just wondering what would give me the most power? Should I just keep the stock TB with the hypertech airfoil? Or should I get something like a BBK 52mm or 58mm TB?

If you have a stock engine, leave the TB alone. You can spend that money else where. There are 502 CI motors with the same 48mm TB as an LT1, and they are making 500+hp. I have an Air Foil on mine, and that is all I did.

I tossed mine out and got the BBk 58mm, but only coz i got it for about 100$ from a guy who is parting out his car and B had like 50 miles on it.
