You can port (and polish) your stock 76mm thottle body into a 80mm. You can also buy a 80mm throttle body from BBK for a good price. Biggest TB I know you can run is a 92mm.

80 is the biggest with out it not being wasted as 80mm is the maximum opening on a ls6 intake anything over would not be utilized.
