Default TB advice on LS-6 intake

Hey guys, I just installed a new LS-6 Intake on my 1999 FRC today. My mods to date are supermaxx headers, Hi-flow CATS, halltech air intake, 4.10 rear, MagnaFlow exshaust, custom tune. My question is should I install a LS-6 TB or any other TB to go along with the intake. Will there be anything to gain by doing this. Just a added note, I plan on putting on a super charger some time next year. Any info will be great THANKS.

LS1 and LS6 TB are same, u can buy ported LS1/6 TB tho, for another few ponies. Do u have any aftermarket CAI? LG motorsports selling one with green filter it looks like a black wing for 97-2000 vettes only, and its $199 i think its pretty good deal.

Shaner at S2 Performance does port/polish of the stock throttle body if you want something a little extra
