Default Throttle response with the 102mm tbod.

I'm doing a 408 superchaged stroker with L92 heads and I was wondering if I was going to loose throttle response having a 102mm tbod with the matching intake. Thanks.

Generally, the larger the throttle body, the more air is let in for the same amount of pedal travel. This can make the car hard to drive smoothly at slow speed and in traffic unless the throttle linkage ratio is modified to slow down the throttle valve movement. Some cars have linkage that exaggerates the initial throttle movement to make the driver think that the engine is more powerful than it really is.

So would you recommend going with the 92mm instead of the matching 102mil for better performance? what would be the best set up for power, performance, and street drivability?
