Default BBK 80mm vs. LSX 78mm TB's...

Looks like i'm getting a 78mm LSX manifold.

Looking at TB's now. Can usually find some BBK's for around $200 used in decent condition. Compared to the $400 for the FAST TB's. Will the BBK work if I port the inlet a bit for the TB blade? Everything is about budget

In all honestly if budget is your worry then you are buying the wrong items.
List what you already have and what your goals are.
The 78mm intake isn't much better then a Z06 and makes 0 extra power on quite a few cars. Give us some info and maybe we can help more.

not really budget, just not wanting to spend the extra money if i don't have to is what i mean.

combo

ARE 382 all bore
ARE stage 3 LS1 heads
242/250 612/619 114 +2
Kook's 1 7/8" LT's
True duals

6speed

anyways, i know i could really use 90mm LSX, but budget isn't there and i got a sweet deal on a 78mm intake so just seeing what's all out there. plus, i'll just buy the 90mm top piece over the winter along with the 90mm TB and sell the BBK. just got the stock stuff (TB and LS1 intake on the car now and obviously need to let the motor breathe better)
