Default which throttle body and plenum to buy

i have a 01 gt vert. I have done some basic mods such as exhaust, K&N air intake, pulleys, chip on the way. What size throttle body and brand should I buy. I see some inexpensive ones on ebay and other places but brands i never heard of. Can I also add a spacer to it and if so should i.

Ther are quite a few people on here with BBK T/B and a C&L Plenum. The C&L Plenum flows just as much as Accufab and costs way less, just not as shiny! As far as the Throttle Body, depends on what mods you will be doing in the future, but if you get the 75mm you will have to upgrade your intake tube! Most of the time your engine will only take in as much air as the 70mm can feed it anyways with an N/A GT. The 75mm can give you idle problems if you don't have a programmer. I have that issue with just porting my factory one! I would say def get the C&L plenum!!!
