Default fuel and intake

I don't know a whole lot about throttle body and MAF sizes. Could someone tell me what ideal sizes would be for a NA setup. I plan on adding forced induction to my car in the future, but there are a lot of things I need to do first. I want to get a TB and MAF that will improve my current set-up and will be good for future modifications as well. 70mm, 75mm TB and 90mm MAF? Would bigger injectors help increase power? I need some advice please.

unless you have better than stock heads and intake manifold... a new TB and MAF are useless for you

What would be a better power build approach then? I have a stock engine (as you can see from my sig) Should I go with 3.73's? I'm a college student on a strict budget.. I'd like to figure out a route to follow with basic mods and bolt-ons before I move on to core engine components.

no, it comes with a 70mm MAF stock... 60mm TB.

Went to garage where sits my complete 95 original engine on stand. Nothing wrong, just built another engine for the car. Never get $$ back on modified engine so kept old motor in case I sell car buyer has option of engine and price. Used bore gauge and digital caliper and yup, it is but 60mm. Couple of years ago, June of 06 page 98, Mustang 5.0 magazine stated Sn came with 70mm tb. Well they stand corrected, as do I.
