Default Best Throttle Body Size?

I am looking to give the hp a little more boost in my 99 Ram Air TA. It already has a few mods and it is pushing around 365-370 hp, but I would like to get around 400 or a little over. I am considering buying a beefier intake manifold. I was also thinking about a larger throttle body as well. Any suggestions on the best size and brand?

If you plan on going all out sooner or later, the LSX manifold may be your best choice. The LS-6 would be the next option. A good ported stock TB will support the flow and bolt to both. There is no need for a 90mm manifold/TB at the point you are at now. Personally I'd go for the 78mm LSX with a Shaner, Jantzer, or Bauer ported TB.

I would go with the LS6 intake , the lsx intake has not shown consistent power increases , the results are all over the board , The ls6 is a proven to add 8 to 12 hp almost everytime. As for throttle body any good ported throttle body will work great as beast stated above.
