Bbk tb

I got a good deal on a LS6 intake and BBK 80mm throttle body, is it worth installing the throttle body, Any gains to be had? Car is pretty close to stock

If you have an LS1 intake now, the LS6 is a good move. The BBK TB..not so much.

Stick with the stock TB and 01+manifold. You can port your stock TB if it makes you feel better.

If you've already bought the BBK stick it on. It will give you the same effect as having a stock tb ported and polished.
