Default LS6 intake, and what throttle body?

Ill be running an LS6 intake with my D1SC blown 370 and im just wondering what throtle body everyone was running with the LS6 intakes? I heard great thinsg about the LS6 intake in a forced induction setup, just not sure if the stock LS1 TB would be fine, or should i get a different one? Ill be pushing the D1 for all its worth just wondering if the stock throttle body is a restriction. Is the LS6 TB bigger?

I know this seems like a basic Q but its one of those things i just didnt think about till now.

A turbo car I recently tuned made 870rwhp through the stock untouched throttle body. Changing to a Starr 84mm throttle body (which tapers down to 75mm to match the inlet of the LS6 intake) brought it to 876rwhp.

Not sure what gains would be at higher boost levels as I left the Starr throttle body on the car for the remainder of the dyno runs.
