Default LS3 intake mounting bosses / bolt pattern

Aside from the obvious port geometry differences between LS1-2 and LS3 intakes, are there any notable differences in the intake bolt set up or bracket bosses that might be used for throttle cables or TV cables?

Also, If one were to swap an LS3 intake onto a L92 motor, are there any good flowing factory throttle bodies that are set up with provisions for cables or will work with the Bowtie kit?

Thanks for the help!

You won't find a throttle body, of any brand, that's already setup for a TV cable.

Thanks for that info...How much HP will the LS3 intake support and which factory throttle body would be a good choice to use with the TV made easy kit? I see a lot of guys spending $800 on a Fast intake but is it really necessary? My goals are only 500 hp.

The ls3 makes ~425 hp stock. I see no reason why the intake won't support 500.
