Will have 31" Tall tires on back also.

Skip the throttle body for sure. Plenty of fast cars out there using the stock throttle body. The Boss Intake requires you to set your shift points at 7600-7700 minimum. Something to keep in mind. And you have to be mistaken on a 31" tall tire.

Why the heck would you want to use that tire?

I don't think you realize what a 31" tire is going to do to your car. You'll need a 4.88 gear just to get it close to stock. I'm not even sure it's going to fit without some serious massaging. Here's my old school look and the tire comes in at 27.8".

Looks like I'll be doing a lot of measuring first. I have a 72 Vega Tube Chassis with 31-18.50 15 tires on back. At least I can use the tire to check things first. At least it has the right height, and more than enough width. Thanks for your info and picture.
