Default throttle body "Q"

just curious about installing bigger tb on my 2001 ws6, I'm installing Comp Cam 231/237, Kooks headers w/ory and Patriot heads. on an m6 w/ stock rear gears. currently has an slp lid, k&n filter on Borla cat back, keeping borla after mods. what are the pro's/ con's on going bigger tb? or will porting be enough? will be driven mostly on street w/ occasional strip but, mostly street. is the hp gained on bigger tb worth the hp? if any. any help or info would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

It's an '01. You have an ls6 intake and it shall respond well to a ported stock TB.
If you had an ls1 intake, I'da said jump the ls6 intake altogether and get a 90/90 combo, but save that for later.
Ported TB. I think New Era------>
is doing them for a killer price.

Don't waste your money on a BBK when a ported stocker is plenty good.

Stick with the stock untill you upgrade to a bigger (90mm) intake.
