what size is the throttle body on a 6.0...what would you gain or not replacing it with a 78mm ported and cleaned up one...

I believe stock size is around 78mm so just smoothing out throttle response and higher RPM airflow...

i think stock ones are good for low end due to the turbulence they cause. the bbk's are good for top end. i have a shaners and i think it is good for both. i think porting and smoothing it out speeds up the airflow helping all the way around. you can get one that is 1000mm if you want but the intake inlet is only 78mm.
