A throttle body may affect the idling characteristics of your tune. Side effects may be stalling when coming to a stop or slight surging/hunting for the desired idle. You're not changing the WOT performance part of the tune...just the part the IAC sensor references.

He speaks the truth. Happened to me.

Also, why the 80mm TB? Just a ported stocker is plenty good.

you can have your stock ported for like 80 dollars and it is going to flow almost identical to the 80 mm because the ls6 intake is only 78mm, correct me if i am wrong here guys...
