Default Throttle body...?

It is really just throttle response more than anything but it is a cheap worthwhile mod. I am not even sure it would show up on a dyno...

yeah you could say that. Its one of those things that helps, but we don't really know where to put it lol. I just went ahead and got an 85MM tb and ported the intake opening to match up

a ls6 intake uses a 3 bolt TB.a fast 92 mm intake uses a 4 bolt TB.check the ws6 store pricing on a 3 bolt TB .

I like my Prof Products 85 MM. that 80 should do ok though to for what you have sounds like a decent price i guess too.

I've always heard 7-9rwhp and lots mention they could definately tell a difference and for some that waited to say they wish they'd have done it sooner
