Default Throttle Body sizing

I am building a 5.3 with 70s for racing. I am needing to pick up a throttle body, something with a 4 bolt pattern on a budget.

What is everyone using? Can I get away with something stock? What size and how much power have you made or how fast have you gone?

It's highly unlikely the stock TB will cause you any restriction, so anything around that size will be fine.
