I checked out a throttle-body after-market fuel injection system, with 950

cfm.  I'm unfamiliar with the throttle body concept- will this give a
better 
throttle response than a 750 holley with mechanical secondaries?  I'm
aiming 
for 400 rw hp, with a chevy 350, bored +60, AFR heads, and a streetable,
but 
performance cam.  This is in a 2000 lb car, with a manual 6-speed.  This 
will be my 'work' car, driving on country roads to where I work, about 40 
minutes each way.
I'm leaning towards a victor Jr. intake, rather than the performance RPM
air 
gap (dual-plane) since it is such a light car.  What do you think?  Go
with 
the throttle body or the 750 carb?  single plane or dual plane?
