to use this throttle body you will also have to send in you intake for modifications{the front of the intake is removed and a new oval peice is attached.i have one on my 01 ss and it works great better throttle response and driveability than wirh a ported stock tb expect 10 to 15 hp gain on a 346 with h&c,ls-6 intake and ported tb slightly more with strokers.
The dynos I have seen show that the TPIS TB and intake mod out performs the FAST intakes by a good amount. Granted, they are preliminary results, but I think the FAST intake is greatly overpriced at $800 + $500 throttle body, you could do a TPIS intake mod and TPIS TB, or nearly a sheetmetal intake for that. We'll have to wait for more results o be for sure, but thats my opinion...

I used Oval as the search word on their site. Some shops might be able to get a better deal on this.
The Tpis Oval TB lists for $650 on page 126
For Tpis to mod your LS6 intake is $450 on page 127
Sounds like ~$1100 if you have an LS6 intake to work with otherwise ~$1400 to $1500.
Cartek posted they got ~7rwhp, I know Lou posted he got a good bit more.
