TB for turbo car?

Looking for a suggestion for my build. My motor is forged and heads have been wrked over nicely. I had a FAST intake that I was going to use but am thinking about just using a LS6 intake and recouping some of my cash. MY FAST was drilled and tapped for direct port nitrous but never used (plugged). Question is: what is a good TB for a turbo motor that will make 650-700-rwhp?. I have FAST fuel rails and 83lb injectors. Will a stock TB be OK or should I shoot for a Nick Williams maybe? The FAST intake I've read will really be no added bonus...true??

Stock TB here, I think lots of people use stock, but some upgrade to the wierd intakes with a TB that bolts on the top with a 90deg deal off the top, thats mostly the super high hp cars though.

I ran a stock ported TB + LS6 intake, went 144mph no problem. I'm switcing to 90mm stuff now for my 800-??? rwhp setup.
