Default Need some help, Ported TB and Intake question

So when I bought my car, the ad said..
"85MM SLP MAF Sensor, Ported Throttle Body, LS6 intake"

It never said what it's ported to.. Is it also 85MM because the MAF is?

I'm trying to think of what would be a good setup.. maybe a fast 90/90 or something. Is it difficult to change the intake?
Thanks guys

It's probably just a ported stock tb. I don't think you can get 85mm out of a stocker. Search ported stock throttle body and you can find out more. Or someone else will chime in.

I think changing the intake isn't that difficult. Just lift straight up and out, once the bolts are out. So that you don't catch the oil pressure sending unit and break it. Which lots have broke on here.

My main question is, do I have to remove a load of crap to be able to take it out?
On my 87, granted I had to take the carb off, but there was alot of other stuff I had to remove first to clear the intake.

I've taken mine off by just unhooking the fuel line and throttle cables. Unhooking the maf and injectors. I just unhook the brake booster from the booster. It's probably easier to pull the rails and such, for more room to work. But you don't have to. I've had mine off a few times. It just gets easier the more you do it. I'm rambling, sorry. It's pretty easy/straight foward as long as you have some mech. skills.
