If you are hell bent on running the LS6 intake then just port a stock LS1 throttle body and save money.
If you've got the cash then I would upgrade to a FAST. There is a FAST 90/90 combo(intake/throttle body) in the classifieds for $750

On my old '02 Z28 I had a LS6 intake with a stock throttle body
On my '02 CETA I ran the LS6 intake/ stock throttle body then went to a FAST 90/90. It now has a Victor Jr with a carb
My daily driver '00 Z28 has a LS6 intake and stock throttle body as well

its going to be tough making 450 to the rear without heads too man.. good luck.. best bet to maximize your current setup is a FAST 90 or 92 intake and a Nick Williams throttle body to match. FWIW you can get the intake and tb for around $900-1000 depending.

I have an LQ4 I am going to use L92 heads with. Installing a good size cam, LS6 intake, full length headers, larger injectors and aftermarket fuel rails. ^^^ said its going to be hard to reach 450. I was asking, is this really going to be hard to reach my goal with that build?
