Cool Ls1 Custom Cam Questions?

i have a 99 ss 6 spd with a stock set up 241 heads ls1 intake and am looking to upgrade it with a ls1 custom cam set up and get in the neighborhood of 400-425rwhp the only upgrade i have done to the car is a muffler and full lid set up. i am looking into getting some LT's an off road Y-pipe and an ls6 intake. what size throttle body would be good to use on the ls6 intake to upgrade from stock?
here is the cam set up i am looking at:

Z+220 SDPC LS1 Custom Camshaft - 220/224, 0.551/0.551, 114

The Z-Plus 220 is a step above the venerable Z06 camshaft, excellent choice for stock cylinder heads and mild bolt-on upgrades.
