Default throttle body?

Hey guys I just installed my ram air system and I was wondering should I change the throttle body to maybe help it breath even better? Everything is stock and its an 88 so it still has speed density and NOT mass air. I have installed alot of upgrades on my stang in the last year or so and I just want to know if I should go ahead and change this or will I be good enough with the stock setup for now.
Upgrades:
MSD blaster ignition/with 8mm plug wires
Straight pipes all the way out with magnaflow tips
hypertech chip
Complete Ram Air System
Accel Super coil
135amp altenater
373 gears
Ford racing radiator and
Underdrive pulleys

Something like that I can install myself, right? I've never really worked on internal parts of engines other then the time I replaced push rods and lifters on a 1970 olds tornado with a 455 in it. I know thats not the same but if I can do that I should be able to replace the heads and intake manifold on my own with some help from a mechanic freind of mine,right? Thanks for your help and advise,guys

you dont have mods that will benefit from a larger TB. you should think of MAF conversion, you should run a newer intake manifold, should think of a cam and should think of heads.

and that chip of yours wont work with the A9p or A9L
