If you actually believe they got 16WHP from a TB/plenum, then I don't know what to tell you other than xmas is coming soon, so you better get your list ready for Santa

I've heard conflicting info regarding TB/plenum mods.
If I remember correctly, winters98gt did some experimenting with them back in the day, and got practically nothing from it. Considering his experience with 2-valves, I would think he knows a good amount about it and that his experiments with them have good meaning.
But at the same time, I remember LI98GT (I think that was his name) doing similar tests and gaining well over a tenth and 1 mph in the quarter. And that was on NPI heads. I remember not believing it at first, but he posted time slips and DAs for both passes (at the same track), and it certainly looked like legitimate gains.
So I don't know which to believe. I do know that I wouldn't spend much money on it. I'd either get the BBK 78 mm TB/plenum, or the Trickflow combo. Both run around $260. I'm running a 75 mm Stack Racing TB that I got for <$100, and it works perfectly fine. I see absolutely no sense in spending $400+ on a TB/plenum.
In the end, I'd first spend money elsewhere. There is a much bigger gain in exhaust or gears or a programmer than in a TB/plenum. Now, if you have all those things done, and want to spend another $200-$300, then by all means get one. It certainly isn't going to hurt anything.
Oh, and to your original question. Get the 75 mm TB, assuming it isn't any more expensive. There is absolutely no downside, and will allow room to grow if serious mods come into play in the future.
i'm just relaying info from the data they collected. argue with the dyno i guess
That's the answer to the magical question. Do all the "critical" mods first, then if you have left over cash and are striving for every last ounce of HP, do the TB/Plenum mod.
I know, just giving you grief since you're an older member lol, but dyno readings should be taken with a grain of salt.
Waaay back in the day when my car was bone stock I did a before and after dyno and after I installed my cai, 75mm tb, and c&l plenum I gained 17 rwhp...ill dig the sheets up if needed
