Default Lose Horsepower?

With the mods I have listed below, will I be safe enough to get a bigger throttle body and/or Intake manifold and gain hp or am I going to have to upgrade my fuel system first.

Just my opinion but I wouldn't waste my money on a throttle body. There are a lot better things you can buy to increase horsepower.

So I would be better off just getting an I/M? But, if the new opening to the manifold is like 65mm, wouldn't it be a good idea to move up from my weak a$$ 56mm.
