Default MTI or Ported ls6 throttle body?

I was wondering which throttle body would be better. I have an ls6 intake and i need to buy a throttle body. I was wondering which would flow more and be better for my setup.

Yes it will fit, but it will not work. LS6 (vette) TB's are "drive-by-wire" (electric TB) and our f-body cars TB's use a throttle cable.

MTI throttle body will flow better then a ported TB, but like others have mentioned, just save your money and get a FAST 90/90.

Peace,
Craig.

Hey look up Shaner, He does magnifcent work. As an X machinist, it is great work and a great guy. Does the bump stop mode perfect. the air/idler hole drill/fill mode great. Not to metion the port and polish job!! I got the S3 (drag) my buddy got the S2 (road) and we noticed the mod and both are happy. Its just 120+ and if you dont send your core after reciveing the ported one then its $250. Very happy, last time I talked to him he wasn't doing to well health wise, but I expect him to make out with all well!
