6.0 liter throttle Body on LS1?
I bought the book HOW TO BUILD HIGH PERFORMANCE CHEVY LS1/LS6 V8's by WillHandzel. It says that you can replace your early 75mm LS1 throttle body with a 6.0 liter LQ4 80mm throttle body for more airflow on a LS1. Is this true? Has anyone tried it? Or know anyone that has attempted to install the 6.0 liter Throttle body on there LS1? Thanks.

I got a hold of a 6.0 liter LQ4 VIN U throttle body out of a 05 Chevy Express Van that has a 6.0 liter in it. Please let me know the pro' and con's of this. Thanks. Measured the throttle body with a micrometer it measured 74.85mm? Is this right? So its just a 75mm throttle body like my stock throttle body?
Or am I just better off buying a Shaner S3 throttle body?

Is the body 80 mm or the blade opening 80 mm? That would make a difference because even on a ported stock throttle body the blade opening stays consistant, it doesn't get ported. Although I don't know how much it would help anyway, because of the standard (how wide?) opening to the ls6 intake manifold...
