Question Bracket for 90mm tb to LS6 intake?

I have an LS6 intake that I would like to put a 90mm tb but I don't want to spend 350+ dollars at TPIS to get the conversion done. Do any of you all know if there's a sponsor selling a bracket or plate that can makes this happen?

what do you think you'll gain by putting a huge tb in front of a small intake opening??

stick with a ported stock tb....proven and cheap.



or just pony up the money for the proven FAST 92/92.

Don't like the fast, I have had one before. I rather spend the money on a sheetmetal intake like did when I sold my Fast. I just wanted to go the cheap rout on this engine. Since I have the 90mm tb I though I might as well use it.

Wouldn't the adapter speed up the air going into the intake due to the taper in the adapter? If so, I would think this still might be a better power mod than a stock TB?.?. Thoughts?

Waste of time.... You will be putting a 90mm TB on a Intake that only supports 78mm.... Your not gonna gain a thing.
