Default LS6 intake

I resently bought and installed a LS6 intake for my car and was looking to buy a ported and polished throttle body for it. What is the millimeter on a LS6 intake(78,80,90). I've looked in the stickies but didn't see anything(unless I missed it). Do you have any oppinions on want I should get(Nick Williams, Shaner etc..)
Thanks in advance
Buce

I'm fairly certain I read somewhere that the LS6 intake manifold is able to run an 80mm throttle body. I have an MTI polished billet throttle-body and I'm happy with it. Good luck!

Most just say 75mm.

Same as the LS1 manifolds. I would port my own if I was you. Thunder and New Era also do them.

I believe you are correct. Since you can use the stock throttle body on a 78mm FAST, it only makes since.

The stock MAF is a 75mm unit.

I thought the trucks are 78 mm and our cars have 75 mm.
