Default which IM and TB to use?

I was wondering what intake manifold and throttle body would be good for my setup?
2nd gen b16a ported and polished, 3 angle valve job, shaved .020", Crane stg 2 cams, dual valve springs, ti retainers, adjustable cam gears, sri, dc 4-1, 2.25" cat back.
Here's the dyno graph:

As you can see i am choking up top and there is more power to be made.
Now do i want an IM with a big plenum and short, fat runners like the JG Edelbrock? Or a smaller plenum and longer runners like the AEBS, Skunk2, ITR?
Also what kind of throttle body? 65mm? 70mm? Does brand matter when it comes to tb's?
And if you were to only buy one at a time would you buy an IM or TB first?

Get an IM first....I would either run the AEBS or ITR. I have an ITR on mine.

ITR style manifold, AEBS is good investment.

65mm is plenty for a B16, some say aftermarket TB like to stick, I'd go with bored out OEM TB.
