Default which throttle body?

i've got a 94 GT mainly stock with a bbk c.a.i. and flowmasters and deleted smog and ac. I plan on getting an edelbrock intake manifold, headers, and heads among other things. So my question is until i get my mustang to the heavily modified stage can i get a 75mm throttle body without having any adverse affects or should i just get the 70mm? Also i am keeping it NA so would i still need a 75?

Since you are not changing out your MAF, you will be fine. Eventually, you will want to change this out because i believe the 75mm TB will be larger then your MAF. So your MAF is essentially creating a bottleneck, but this is another post...

upgrade every combustion point all at once, as in do full ignition while you do bigger fuel upgrades then air then timing and restriction then cam ect.

The 70 is big enough for later unless you plan to stroke it.
