Question LS6 TB or LS1?

I know that swaping the LS6 intake to the LS1 motor is a very popular mod. But havent seen much about weather guys are still running the LS1 throttle body on their LS6 intakes or if when they swap the intakes they use the LS6 TB as well?

Corvettes used Drive By Wire throttle bodies. If was an LS6 intake off a Corvette it had the same Drive By Wire throttle body as an LS1 Corvette. If it was an LS6 intake off an 01-02 Fbody it had a cable driven LS1 throttle body on it.
