RE: throttle body
how big is your maf? i'd go with a 70mm accufab. accufab products are the best. BBK is pretty good too. thats what i use. the only thing thats "bad" about BBK is they whistle and it gets annoying sometimes. i like mine though, sounds like a blow off valve on a turbo and i think bbk and edelbrock are the same.

RE: throttle body
I'd wait on the S/C. You gotta put an intake on it and heads to notice much of a gain with the S/C. You've got a good 4 or 5 grand to spend before I'd start worrying about the S/C. And 450rwhp will blow up your stock short block in a hurry, so you'd have anout 4 or so grand to spend there. You're lookin at around 12 grand to get a supercharger on it.
Just do it in steps. Decide on a H/C/I next and then buy them one by one as the money rolls in, then worry about the TB. You're also going to have to do fuel system upgrades as well once you hit about 300hp, there's a good 7-800 right there. With the mods you have right now a TB isn't going to do anything for you, may even slow it down due to the smaller stock intake opening. Then build up the bottom end THEN I would supercharge it.

Or you could always just buy a crate motor.

RE: throttle body
well right now I am having a problem with the idle it keeps surging, stalling. I also have a vacuum leak and the shop hasn't found it yet but they r leaning towards the throttle body, not really sure yet. I did replace the maf and the iac, no cure yet.

RE: throttle body
take some carb cleaner and spray it around your intake and listen for the idle to go up. thatll find your vac leak. as for what liquid said, thats mostly true, and i'll second it, even though i've seen ATI put a procharger on a stock fox and it held fine. it even got a 85% rwhp increase and it was good to go
