Default Will a stock 99 silverado throttle body fit a tbss intake manifold?

My bro has a 5.3 and he is wantin a tbss intake manifold. I know he should put a bigger throttle body on but he cant afford it all at once and besides we wanted to try it with the stock tb to see the difference. He has full bolt ons and cam. We're also gunna try a tsp extreme ramp 232/234 .595 112 cam

ya, with this warmer/humid weather I'm actually running slower (duh ) but its a low-mid 13 sec truck in the summer. Maybe with some more tuning and milled heads I can touch the 12s, but I'm not holding my breath for that one
