stock or go with a big one, D16Z6 engine Throttle body

Im puttng together a d16z6 turbo engine. I have the almost everthing including a edelbrock intake manifold that I got at a good price. my question is should I upgrade the throttle body or the stock one should be fine. Im aiming towards the 300 hp if not more with the right tunning of course. and if a upgrade is call for, what throttel body you guys recommend and how much you think it will cost me. After market upgrade?, oem upgrade from a bigger engine? etc..
Thank you guys.

I put an LS 60mm TB on my boosted Z6 and felt a good increase in power. This is of course from the *** dyno... but I am confident it gained a good amount by the difference it made. The 60mm TB is larger then the opening in the manifold too. I need to port the manifold to match it, just been too lazy.
