Default Benefit of Ported Throttle Body on my setup?

How much would a ported throttle body from Jantzer or Bauer benefit with my setup? I want to get everything together before I go and get a tune. Would these TBs have any fitment problems with my LS6 intake or any problems with the direct flo air lid? Which out of Jantzer and Bauer are the best? What is your experience with them, and should I purchase a whole one, or send my stock one?

2001 WS6 M6

Here are my mods:
Direct Flo Airlid
GMMG Exhaust
Jet Hot LTs
Jet Hot Catted Y Pipe
LS1 Hotcam Kit
...Thinking about BGRA soon

Would this be worth getting for my setup? I also heard that a ported TB will help the hotcam at idle, and you wouldn't have to drill a hole in the TB? Is this true? My goal is to get 380 RWHP out of my setup. Thanks a lot! I appreciate it!

i dont even see why you have to ask :dunnno:, of course its gonna be benificial (sp) . if you havent had the car tuned then you need to, the TB wont help with idle unless you drill out the hole a bit to let more air in, but with a tune you can aviod that.

Thanks jrp. I knew it would be worth some power gain, but I just mainly wanted to see if it would make a big difference with my setup. Thanks again!

BlkBrd,

Usually a Ported TB shows more gains when you throw it on a bolt on car such as yours. Head/Cam stuff usually needs to be tuned.

The LS6 intake and Lid will not be a problem at all. I would descreen the MAF and you should be doing well with all of that.
