Default What size mm is a ls6 intake front opening?

What size is a ls6 intake opening to compare to a tb? I was like the nx throttle body but it is a 85mm.

Has any of you used the NX throttle body. I was thinking about going with the 85mm SLP maf and the NX 85mm throttle body and use the adaptor plate to reduce it back down to the intake. Any thoughts?

You see any throttle response, torque loss or anything?
