LS6 or TB or both?
LS6 or TB or both? I've been emailing Brian at TSP so much lately I thought I'd give him a break and ask here.
The Car - 99 TA, 6spd, Mac headers & borla, free ram air mod, SSRA, slp lip.
Ordered the HO SLP ram air hood. Looking to put 4.10 gears in it and go with the 228/228 112 lsa cam from tsp.
My question is what is the risk vs. reward of going with the ls6 manifold or with a 90mm TB.
Would it be worth it to go ahead and get them now to be put in with the cam and gears.. Should I do one rather than the other?
Would getting the LS6 intake and keeping the stock TB be robbing the car of what it needs? Or should it be fine?
Thanks..

when u say 90mm throttle body to mean getting the FAST 90mm intake as well? I'm assuming so, with your current setup I would think an LS6 intake w/ a ported t/b would be enough, if you plan on going bigger down the road (h/c, FI, bigger cubes etc) Then you could go ahead and get the FAST intake now.

my car had a stock cam... put down 307 with just no cats and lid. I added LT's/ORY/SD TUNE/ a 226/226 114 cam and made 368..... i then installed a S3 TB and LS6 intake and made 380..... so the TB and LS6 are worth about 12whp.... does this answer your question??
Yea that helps. No I dont have any big future plans. Just was curious if I should get the LS6 and TB to finish the set-up. As for the 90mm TB, I wasn;t sure if the LS6 intake fit with the stock TB or not..
Looks like that SLP package deal on the LS6 isnt a bad deal.. hehe.
Thanks

DEF GO WITH A LS6 INT& P&P TB.YOU CAN FIND GOOD DEALS ON HERE ALL THE TIME.I GOT MY LS6 INT SHIPPED FOR 350.00 LIKE NEW !!!I WENT WITH A THUNDER RACING P&P TB ,WORKS GREAT. WANTSUM 410 '72 SS CAMARO LS1 BUILT 6SPD,DR. GAS 3" X,FLOWS,MS 3,4:11'S,DENNY'S N/S,DET. LKR,MSR AXLES,SLP U/D PULLEY. JUST FINISHED REAR END,READY FOR SLICKS & SOME TRACK TIMES.12.5'S ON STREET TIRES.RUMOR IS JEFF CREECH IS COMING TO DYNO SPEED IN MEMPHIS,TN. TO DO SOME TUNING. READY!!! get the ls6 intake then just have ur stock throttle body ported, there is sponsors on here that do it for $75 i believe. A 90mm throttle wont fit on a ls6 intake unless u have the opening on the intake ported as well, and i dont think it would be worth the money...
