throttle body?

I was wondering what kind of gains could be expected if I put an 80MM or 90MM TB on my car, don't have the LS6 intake yet. Can it hurt it?

i wouldn't waste money on an 80mm tb and i don't believe they make a 90mm to fit a GM intake yet

the most popular recommendation you will get from everyone here is to get your stock tb ported - and no, it will not hurt it

average gains are around 6 rwhp and you'll feel a snappier throttle response

i really wouldnt put a big TB on your car unless your making alot of power or u want a car for top end power, and yes it will hurt u low end if u dont have alot of mods to back it up.its not really necessary unless u have heads on the car. what do u have done to your car?

u could use one, but i think i would stay where u are cause a bigger TB will hurt low end and obviously with your mods your wanting to hook and kill the competition off the line. IMO
