Default Aftermarket Throttle body ?

First off what size is the ls6 intake opening? I have been doing some searching on the board to see options on throttle body swaps. If the ls6 intake is not 80mm can it be opened up to that size to use the 80mm throttle bodies offered? Have anyone used the FAST 78mm throttle body? I am installing scorpion 1.8 roller rockers so i think I can gain by a bigger throttle body.

i think your better off getting your stocker ported/polished by a site vendor. I like mine!

accufab makes an awesome TB - but for the $$$ your better off swapping with PTB Throttle bodies on here for some nice gains
and saving $$$ for a 90/90 set up later

I put a BBK 80 on mine and by SOTP felt nothing. Replaced that with a P&P stocker and felt better throttle response. My .02
