Default Throttle Body

I have no intake mods, but I want to start with the throttle body. I am being told different things by different people is reference to the fuel system. People said I should be okay with stock injectors however I have also been told to upgrade. This is kinda costly and I basically am going to do one last project this summer, so I don't want to spend a lot of money until next summer basically. Does anyone have any experience with just doing the throttle body and not the entire intake system at once?

I have two brown pennies....how do you lika that vfast......
Back to topic, do not even bother if you are stock, get yourself gears (ie 3:73's or 4:10's) ebay is your best bet if you are on the economy. Then full exhaust. my 2 cents.
