Default Throttle body selection for LS turbo

Any recommendations of a TB for a mildly ported LS engine with some high lift short duration cams that should be seeing about 300whp? So far I've mostly gotten the bigger the better but I'm looking for brand names that people have experience with. The car will mostly be street driven with some weekend track time.

RPM/Ericks Racing makes good throttle bodies. Snail EG was having a groupbuy on them for $275.00.

Optionsauto has them for around 300+

Ok Ok I'll narrow it down, opinions from people that have had experience with using the product, not trying to sell it to me.

TB's are one of the "sneakier" ways to get an advantage. Not many people can identify what you have unless you tell them. That's why nobody talks about them. Here's some hints to get you on the right track:

1: removed by TB police
2: removed by TB police
3: removed by TB police
