as far as the TB goes, youre always going to want the inlet of the blower to match it. so a biggere TB on a stock blower is a huge waste and won't really be that effective. you have to port the blower at the same time for it to work well.

the SSIC supposedly heat soaks after around 20 seconds of straight WOT. after a run at the track it would basically be out of cooling ability. it is effective and it does help a ton, but the fullsize is just that much more effective. you can normally piece them together from used stuff in the classifieds for a lot cheaper than buying it straight up from zzp.

if youre looking for a good romp on the street, then youll probably be fine with an SSIC. id say with headers, rockers, SSIC, ported blower and TB..you should be able to run somewhere around a 3.2-3.0 pulley depending upon how the tune looks and how your car responds to the mods.
