What do you guys think? It seems pretty inexpensive. I just ordered one and was checking to see if anyone else had one in their ride. If so, how do you like it?

If you have a ls6 intake(78mm), why would you buy a 85 mm tb???? You would be hurting more than helping. You would bottle neck your air flow at the intake opening, because its smaller than the tb. You would be creating unwanted turbulance in the intake. That tb is designed for their 85mm intake.

Well... You wouldn't run 3'' exhaust with 2.5'' mufflers. Thats a hypothetical example but.... It dosen't matter if this throttle body comes with a transition plate or not. The "85mm" pro prod. tb is matched to use with the pro prod. "85mm" intake. Your intake will only flow as good as its smallest point. In this case... its the 78mm (ls6)intake opening. Transitioned or not, it still bottle necks your flow back down to 78mm. Therefore....not doing you any good.

The 85MM will not fit on the LS6 78MM opening. The 85MM is for use with their intakes. They do offer a 80MM one that will fit however the stock LS1 & LS6 Intake. I run one on my personal car, looks great and you can't beat them for the price. Send me a PM and I will see what we can do on the price. They are offered in Satin and Polished.
