stock crank
callies compstar rods
diamond nitrous pistons

custom grind 23X 23X 600 lift cam

A big throttle body will be harder to tune and the last 20-40% of pedal movement will have little to no effect. I had a 102mm TB with about 420whp. At 73% on the TPS would net 101kPa all the way to redline.
It doesn't really hurt anything, you just lose resolution in the power modulation.
You'll be fine with the 95mm. The low TPS will help a lot with running as well.
