Since you already have the ls6 intake, I would just go with a ported TB.

Yeah I PM'd you too late when you came out with the 12 guys offer. That sucked. How do I get in touch with Camminbeast?? If you guys recommend him then I guess thats the way to go. You think I should have gone with a LXS type intake and big TB????

Right around 2 weeks. Thats shipping from CA to GA and back again. Cost $75 shipped back to me. Well worth it IMO...
If you do do it, dont forget to get a new seal for the TB.

i also recommend cammin beasst for the TB, 75$ shipped cannot be beat, plain and simple. the tb looked amazing, nothing flashy or fancy, just a great porting and polishing job. great service and timely turnaround. one question i did have though after reading this thread is that the new TB gasket or seal? could u go into some detail on this because i just put my tb back on after i got it back without ordering a new seal, did i screw up? thanks

I was talking about the orange seal that goes onto the intake where the TB meets the intake. I dunno if its a big deal, but the GM service manual said not to re-use it, which is the only reason i even thought about replacing it. Only $10 bucks anyway, couldn't hurt.

Is it alright to run a 90mm with the LS6 intake? Was looking at the Nick Williams TB's??
