You don't NEED an aftermarket TB either. The stock unit flows enough to support 350hp. You could opt for a 52 or 58 and get a couple extra ponies....probably less than 10. Tuning will take care of any flow/AFR differences. With a cam, ported heads, intake, and exhaust you'll need a tune anyway. It will include adjustments for all TB openings.
FWIW, another member mcrx24 was running a TPIS TPI setup last year on the stock tune. He got 322rwhp and 396rwtq. It had a hotcam, TPIS ported heads, TPIS bigmouth intake, and TPIS headers on a PACE 350 block. ZF6 stick transplanted into an 88.

Don't Greenwood scoops sit on top w/o needing to be blended? Find their website, you'll see.
If you want a steathram, get the basic unit and rails. It's about $600 total IIRC. (you don't need the electronics)

thanks ill look that up about the scoop.
you don't think ill need injectors or any of that stuff? what kinda power would i make if i went to the ram with stock heads and cam? would it be any improvement at all until i could afford to have my heads ported or a set of afr's..
also, what do people use to tune these? i own and am very familiar with efilive V2 but obd-1 stuff looks like a whole different animal

Gregg is right. I am controlling my system with the stock ECM. You will need to hook up your fuel hose and mount your MAP sensor on the plenum but that only involves a drill.

You should get new injectors if the old injectors are stock Multecs. Probably need upgraded injectors if you want to make 350 RWHP
I got mine dyno tuned by Hitech Motorsport

There are. Look in the Scan and Tune section. I don't want to do it myself since it involves learning and that usually involves trial and error which can lead to KABOOM. The time it would take me to figure it all out, it would be cheaper and easier to hire someone to do it since I don't do it on a daily basis. A mistake can lead to breaking an engine

It will be an improvement -- especially in topend. Get 24lb SVOs and you'll be good to go.
Moates provides a plug-in board that piggy-backs in place of your mem-cal. It's flashable. TunerPro or Tunercat allow you to change parms to complete the tune. WideBand sensor makes it foolproof. Or you can do a PCM4Less/MSeven chip. They are custom tuners.
