i have a an 80mm TB built like the BBK but got it at alot cheaper price. it has the simular design as well as the design flaw from what ive been told. if you have a stock motor and cam, its not as big of a deal but if you have a cam, you might have to drill the throttle blade since it doesnt have the idle hole like stock. its not such a big deal cause it has an adjustment screw for idle but you might have to drill it for cammed cars. ask tuners like Frost who know more about it. i have no idea about the size. DON NOT start drilling it if you dont have a hole. please ask the experts first for sizes if you absolutly have to drill a hole. Mines running just fine without it drilles but everyones car is alittle different.

I have an 80mm bbk, I also have a big cam. I just can't get this tbody to work. The TPS switch is not at the same angle as my stock one. Its rotated back a little. This causes my car to go into reduced power mode, and the idle gets stuck at 2000rpms. The idle screw at the bottom won't help me as it will only increase the idle more, not decrease. The TPS angle is my issue. I'm not going to drill out my TPS and try to make it work. I'm done with it, just ported and painted my stock one and will be reinstalling it in about an hour

The BBK 85 I had it worked good, but it would be nice if the top of the mouth was smoothed and not left with a "as cast" finish.

Do you have a link? I really want an 80mm to wwork with my setup. My only other option is a fast 92/92 or typhoon 92/92

I am running the Professional Products 85mm throttle body for months now without a problem. They are cheap at ws6store.

^^^ ya I remember your thread. I was that guy who voted against the BBK! lol...

You didn't port your LS6 snout to 80mm did you? I never checked back with your thread.

And the pro products only offers the 80-85 in drive by cable I believe.

Dnt buy the typhoon intake... Go with a FAST 92 with NW92 from WS6Store. You wnt br disappointed.

No, I didn't have time. Also I figured why go to the trouble if I'm going to switch anyways. Lol
I did good that weekend on the, I mean at the track. 4 wins 1 loss. Mean traction issues with my stock 19" rims 30 series tires.

^^^ 4/1? Sweet... Ya good thing you didn't mod it. If I wer you I would sell the LS6/BBK TB/ Stock TB that should be $600 rite ther. Throw in another $600 and you have yourself a FAST92 NW 92! Buy from WS6Store. Great prices! Free shipping! You should see a easy 10-15 hp gain because your cam.

Goodluck with swap!

I have a bbk 85, its works good now that I drilled and ported the iac port. It would stall when I first got it tuned, did this and its been great ever since, 25,000 miles.

hmm thats good to know there was a "fix" for your problem...I wonder if anyone else with a BBK tb has tried that..
