Question Throttle body q's...

whats up fellas,i have some questions on throttle bodys,as in my signature ive done real extensive motor work this winter,now i have the urge to upgrade the fuel air combo,to really maximize build.im one of those guys who like most of us if i can afford it i want the BEST........so who are the top manufactors of throttle bodys and components,what do i need to make sure i have and what to stay away from,looking to get more fuel and air to this motor,was told bigger is not always better.

would i need to go with a zippers product because of having a TMAX. ecm,any help would be great. and thank you in advance... Tommy
