Default Absolute 85mm TB?

Can someone tell me more about this TB? Is it just a ported OEM TB?
Price?
Thanks.

If it's 85mm then it's not a ported stocker.

I've never even heard of it is it something new Jay is putting out? Maybe it's to match up to his LS6 ported intake he's coming out with, don't know if you can hog out a LS6 intake TB opening to 85mm though.
