Default LQ4 Throttle Body?

I just read in the new LS1 book that the LQ4 throttle body is 80 mm. Is that true and is it cable or electronic?

Bummer. I checked price and I can get one for around $225, which is a lot less than FAST or BBK.

Wonder if you could pull the stepper motor and put a pulley on ...

When I swapped my TB yesterday, I got my first look at the intake. No sense in putting an 80 in front of that. I can see alittle of the edges behind my stock ported TB.
