PCM tuning is always a good idea, especially with bolt on's. Your Fuel block learn will compensate the best it can to accomadate the 90mm T/B, you notice some change!

a ported stock tb would be a good choice. best part is that it's free! or you can just buy one already ported and polished from several of the sponsors.

LS6 intake only has a 75mm hole in it. So therefore it's totally pointless running a bigger than stock TB on it.

Stock ported TB - see sig.

If you want 90mm then TPIS (a sponsor) offer on an exchange basis a LS6 intake which has been converted with a 90mm opening, either round or oval. You will need a new TB, TPIS offer 90m round and oval TB's.

These are proven to produce gains over a regular LS6 intake, but be warned they are pricey. If you don't have a LS6 intake then you'll have to buy it to exchange it with TPIS. This makes it astronomical in price.

The best 90mm setup is still the FAST 90 intake with a good 90mm TB (NW or PTM).
