i just went through this samething. I wanted a TB that looked nice aswell. If you look around you can find a BBK cheap used. From what i hear they improve throttle response. Mine is comming in tommorrow or weds. I love how it looks and it comes with a plate to taper down into stock intake. The choice is yours. I spent alittle extra and got what i wanted.

I honestly think after being around the ls1 scene (spectating) that if you are gonna go through the trouble of swapping to the ls6 intake manifold and porting the throttle body, that it really isn't too much to just step up to the 90/90.
I used to think that I could see the difference between 1100$ and 600$, but in all reality now that I am spending 16k+ on a camaro, I don't seem to like the compromising anymore.

I bet you still live at home and have no bills or either rich......i ported my own t/b its simple if you have ported before...and ive got 42o in my intake......so how the hell is that not better than 1100 for a 90/90 setup......
you dont need a fast unless you are making 500+rwhp IMO
the ls6 manifolds or similar with a ported t/b do fine at making big power....

A FAST 90/90 on a stock displacement car will only gain about 3-6 rwhp over a LS6 manifold. Even on a friends heavily moddified H/C and spray Vette we seen 8whp. Now after the 408 setup we seen 27whp gain. So unless you plan on running something other than a 346ci engine, stay with the LS6 and get a stock ported TB, like the S3 or something.

DONT GET A BBK... they suck, i had one for about 3 months and hated it, so i sold it to a friend and it made his car run like ****.... then he got there intakemanifold and then it was alright... but if u just want to get your TB ported i would recommed bo white from this site and his username is just bo white and he does a great job...
