Default What are my throttle body and maf options

In the process of swapping a LQ4 into a 72 olds. I need a cable driven throttle body and a MAF. What is the best cable driven option out there? Stock LS1 TB and MAF.

Do the TBSS have larger MAFs would this be a worthwhile swap? At what point are aftermarket pieces the best way to go. Currently itll be stock with a tune and headers plus emmisions stuff deleted. Down the line in a year-ish i hope to do l92s and a large cam.

Only stock DBC throttle bodys are 78mm. Have to go aftermarket to get larger.

Stock TBSS is 87mm, but you'd need the tac module and throttle pedal and a newer PCM.

What is the largest aftermarket the stock manifold can accept. A FAST LSXRT just is not in the cards nor do i expect it will be for a very long time.

Stock manifold only accepts 78mm. Can buy TBSS intake and 90mm DBC throttle body.

Thanks

Sometimes it seems like the simplest stuff is the hardest stuff to find when trying to use the search option
