Default what size throttle body should I get?

im in the market for a ported throttle body that will do nicely with my underdrive pully, K&N, and my LT headers.

Ive got an LS6 intake manifold, now I want a ported throttle body but not sure if I have any flexability on size?

can anybody give me some input...I know the stock TB is 75mm...now do I have to go with stock size or can I upgrade to a 90mm ported throttle body. I am also aware that they make a 78mm, not sure what kind of throttle body and what size to go with.

any input is appreciated.

Go with a ported stock by somebody such as Shaner.

i'm going with a ported/polished one. ported to 78mm with the LS6 intake. should be a nice gain.

It kind of depends on what your future plans are. If you think you might end up putting a Fast 90mm intake in your car, than you should wait and get a 90mm TB to match. If you plan on keeping the LS6 manifold, you should just get yours ported to 78mm. In the end, its all up to you, what you want to do, and how much money you want to spend.
