it is if you plan on getting an ls6 intake down the road, when i got my tb ported from the powderpro i could tell it had more throttle response and i could definately notice it..

It would be if you bump up to an LS6 intake along with it....can probably do both for under $450.

It's a good mod for one of your first bolt-ons. It's also pretty eash to do yourself.

Ive not done many truck TBs but Ive not seen a 80mm TB on them either. I did a Silverado SS TB one time and it wasnt 80mm I dont think(been back when they were new lol).
