BBK 80mm TB?
What was the read on the old BBK 80mm LS1/LS6 dbw throttle body? I never saw these much but suddenly I own one with the blue coupe.
I have not taken it apart so I don't know if it or the LS6 manifold it is paired to have been at all ported or port matched. I am curious if it has any noted flow benefit or ease of tuning vs OEM.
I also wonder if it opens faster than OEM.
I'm trying to decide if it is something I might prefer to use on the Z06 with the blower vs the ported LS6 TB which came with that one.

An LS6 manifold is a firm decision for the single piece construction not failing wit boost use. I would make use of the ported LS6 tb which came with matched intake except that purchasing a second C5 has left me with the question of the BBK tb vs stock now.
