Default Throttle Body size?

Yesterday I measured my TB and I don't think that I measured my TB size wrong. I measured across the middle from the air lid size and took the inches and converted it into MM. I came up with 85 it is on the stock ls6 manifold is that possible and did I measure it right?

You have to measure the TB blade to determine if it is a 75 or 85mm TB.

So measuring the blade would that require having to disassemble the throttle body?

Just measure the rear opening, not the front. Itll be close enough.
