479 for the Fast that hasn't came out yet, and 499 for the MTI that is out.

I have an LS6 intake and I may do a TNT F1 wet shot, will this hook right up and benifit me?

What kind of HP gain over the 88mm I have?

i was always skeptical about gains with a throttle body. It would seem more to be less the Hp gain and more the better throttle response...the crispiness if you will of the throttle response...correct me if im wrong...do you gain decent rwhp out of a 90mm throttle body? or any upgraded throttle body for that matter.

If enough mods are present (large cam, ported heads, headers, etc) a 90mm TB can be beneficial. Max effort H/C cars have gained as much as 20+ rwhp going to a larger TB. At some point, the factory 75mm TB becomes a restriction. Ported TBs usually give ~5-8 rwhp even on lightly modded cars, definitely a worthwhile mod, IMO.

Will it do anything for my motor? I have an 88mm on there now. Its also getting a 150 wet shot if that matters. But I'm more interested in the gains on motor from the 90mm TB.
