Throttle Body Recommendation Here is a picture of the set up I am using. What throttle body would you recommend that would mount up to the elbow. How big? Here are the engine specs:
5.3 stock bottom end
arp rod bolts, head studs, LS9 gaskets, 160lb injectors, E85,LS HD timing Chain, Patriot Gold Dual Valve Springs, XER273 224/230 .581/.588 114 Factory PC and wiring harness, Hp tuners. Goal is around 850rwhp and running 15-19lbs of boost with twin Pt62/62's with .58 AR

That Elbow doesn't look like it has a bolt pattern for a stock ls1 TB. Stock ls1 TB is 3 bolt all the other new and bigger TBs are 4 bolt.
If you are set up for it just get a 90mm 4 bolt TB.
Allthough I have gone 9.5@147 on a stock 78mm TB

Thanks. I got the intake and rails for only $250 so I dont mind spending some on a throttle body. Just wasn't sure if I needed to. I guess the fact that it is 4 bolt decides for me. Thanks.

I have had several aftermarket throttle bodies. I also had a ported stocker. Many of the stockers benefit from relieving the full throttle stop to allow the blade to open to parallel position. I had a BBK and now use a Trickflow. The Trickflow is the best so far. smooth transition, great response. A quality piece IMO.

It's not so much the hp as it is to break 6 sec in the 1/8. It should take around 15-19 psi to make that happen in my car.
FWIW-I found a UMI 90MM throttle body 4 bolt in new condition, used for mock up only for $200. That should be just about right for what I am doing and saving around a $130 over another aftermarket one I was interested in.
