I am using the NX billet 85mm throttle body with a NX adapter on a LS6 intake. It replaced a Bauer ported TB which I was very satisfied with. The NX is a beautiful piece of work. It is anodized black with a big silver "NX" on the top of it. Installation was very simple with no surprises. I am running a highly moddified engine with a 232/240 .595/.609 cam and was greatly surprised that the engine idled smoother and had better throttle tip off than with the Bauer unit. I'm guessing that the machined in vortex generators may be responsible. On the dyno we gained 6 hp over the heavily ported Bauer unit which impressed me also. I am extremely pleased and have no problems recommending the unit.

My guess would be around 10 to 15 hp but that is only a guess. You have more cubes and a stock tb so I would expect a lot more of a gain on your engine than I saw on mine.
