Default Will Fast 78mm TB work on LS6

Can a 78mm Fast TB bolt up to a LS6 intake with no mods? They say it's for their manifold only.

Thanks

I don't see why not. I have the stock TB on my FAST 78 manifold. Same bolt pattern.

why would you? The cost of a FAST 78 TB will hardly net you anything over a ported stock.
