Don't forget about the PTM 90MM TB. You can get it for a great price.

Well, they aren't alike in any way except for being a throttle body. What are you wanting to do with this setup? I would vote for NW either way. Ask a sponsor about pricing. ------------>>>>>>>

I would stick with an LS6 intake and a ported stock TB + a mild cam. That is a budget setup that will rock. If you plan on going with heads that are running oversized valves consider bigger. Not that you won't benefit from it now going 90/90 or 80/90.

For now I think you should just get your stock throttle body ported. Later on when you get your cam installed, then you should start to consider a 90mm intake and throttle body and heads. Just like Orangeapeel said.

I would suggest less on skimping with a PTM and go for the NW when the time comes.

I agree, take some time on saturday afternoon and port your stocker. Then when you do your h/c setup do your intake and tb at the same time.
