The best intake/tb combo is the FAST 90/Nick Williams TB in my opinion, and that's what I went with. It was a good investment because I got a deal and I'll be able to use it again when I put a stroker in my car in a year or so. Right now it's working well with my full bolton & MS3 setup though. With just boltons you won't see much of a gain with the 90/90 setup over the LS6/ported TB. You'd be better off getting an LS6 intake, ported stock TB, and a cam for the money.

i did't think a 90/90 would help bolt ons only. Is there a better tb than stock ported

The 90mm is fine with stock internals. A lot of people are really happy with that setup.

Its a little overkill in my opinion, especially when you factor in the price.

Stock ported tb is all you need

yeah from what I hear, unless you plan on doing so good motor work I would say just go with an LS6 intake and ported throttle body or one of the sponsors I think sells a port matched LS6 intake with BBK throttle body
