with only 9.2:1 compression(on the 3V) I don't think it will hurt to go bigger but the cost might not be worth the possible gains.
Have a link for the ones you have in mind?

Some guys are running 2.5-3" duals without problems, and volumetrically, those flow more than a single 4" would, so I say go for it.

I'm in the air yet on whether I'm gonna go single or duals on mine. Price is very comparable.
