Default What throttle body for non-elbow single plane intake

I just bought a GMPP single plane intake for my 5.3 truck motor with the bosses drilled for injectors. I'm not going to run an elbow and want to mount a throttle body right on top like a carb would mount.

What type of throttle body will fit this application?
I will be running a drive by cable setup.

Thanks,
Brandon

Thanks for the responses. Glad to see there are different options available. I'm shocked at how expensive these things are considering no fuel flows through them.

I'm building a daily driver. I'd prefer more low end torque. It won't be a racecar.

Which size or what kind of throttle body would best fit this goal? I'll be running stock ls1 injectors on the intake. I'm afraid if I just pick one I may get one that's too big or too little.

Thanks,
Brandon
