Default porting ls2 intake

wondering if anyone could tell me if a ls2 intake can be ported to handle a 102 throttle body-----

I'll go one further...what's the point?

A 102 throttle body is almost overkill even on a 102 FAST (unless it's some max effort N/A setup).

A 102 throttle body on a stock LS2 intake is utterly useless...

i would not put a stock ls2 intake on, it isn't stock the intake is ported,only thing left to do is the throttle body opening and get this i'm taking a ls6 intake off along tith the 80 mm throttle body to get about 10 more hp and torque ---------------

Why not just a regular 90-92mm LS2/LS3 or aftermarket throttle body?

A 102 TB is going to once again be pointless for feeding an LS6 intake. If you have good heads and big cam, the restriction isn't going to be at the TB but in the intake manifold itself.

And if you don't have good heads and big cam for the intake manifold to be a restriction, then there's no reason for a 102 TB.

So you want to put a junk intake on that bad *** set up??? :/

Spend the money on a FAST 102/92 setup and be done with a intake that's a thousand times better...

Sorry but the LS2 intake, even ported won't make a notice improvement in power over you LS6 intake to even make it worth the time and effort to do the swap.
