What do you mean, there is supposed to be a gasket for the BBK Throttlebody?

I bolted mine up to the LS6 intake, used some sockethead cap screws as the original ones wouldn't fit. Everything went back together after trimming the bellow a bit. Car runs fine, excluding a minor coolant leak (either I didn't get the coolant lines on it properly or I damaged one of the pipes on the throttlebody).

So yours had a gasket and a spacer, interesting. I bought mine used and it didn't come with either. After I found the right screws it bolted up just fine and the car runs okay.

Did yours come with different bolts?

i think then you have smaller than 80 mm because i tried to put in on with out the spacer and the blade hits the intake it will not clear the opening due to larger throtle plate

No, I have the 80mm BBK Throttlebody and it is bolted directly onto an LS6 intake manifold without a spacer. The throttleblade and opening are noticeably larger.
