Default Best throttle body

I was wanting to put on a throttle body on my 2005 mustang gt. What brand would be recommended for the most hp gain. Also I was wondering if I end up buying a supercharger will I have to install a different throttle body or will i be able to use the one I buy? I was looking at BBK 62mm throttle body. Is that the best one on the market?

If your car is basically stock you will get no gain from a throttle body
The stock throttle body is good for atleast 500whp
Get some gears or a CAI and a tuner

I live about 10 miles from topeka. I plan on supercharging so its prolly a smart thing to wait and just save my money up for that. What kind of driveshaft would you recommend?

If you're not aspirated or internally modded, stock.

Whats so great about the spydershaft. I know the stock driveshaft weighs like 50 lbs and this is cutting almost 35lbs off. Is it the best driveshaft on the market?
