Default Throttle body and air intake

Im looking to get a new throttle body and cold air intake and was wondering what is the best buy. I see a lot of BBK throttle bodies but was wondering which one is the best quality. I have a '91 5.0 with not that many mods except for straight X pipe flowmasters and eliminated the smog pump. Any ideas?? What size throttle body should i go with? btw- Im trying to keep my fox street legal.. maybe in the future throw a turbo in it.. thanks in advance.

ok. usually a TB wont add too much hp, but as far as brands go, BBK isnt bad, i like holley tho. When you do decide to get one, you will need to replace your mass air meter, otherwise the install is pointless, the stock maf is like 55mm although ive heard it was 58 or 60, not quite sure, but anyway, if you dont upgrade it, the intake will be restricted to the stock size

so sizes on the new stuff, on a mostly stock car i wouldnt go any bigger than 70mm, get a maf that matches that and your injector size
