With 80 mm you would need a custom lower intake manifold to accept the
larger TB. There is not enough material on the intake manifold to mount a TB
of that size. The factory TB is 60mm at the tightest spot. (67 mm at the
opening, tapers down to 60 mm and then back out to about 67 mm +/- at the
rear of the TB.)
Sounds like a nice aftermarket upgrade, a new lower intake W/ a 80 mm TB!!
Kenne Bell made a custom intake for Jeff Crook's 4.7L for the blower
application, I have Jeff's factory intake manifold, and I am currently
tinkering with it :)!!! so it can be done!!
I'm standing in line right behind you Steven to get one!!!!

Yes, and so have quite a few other DML'ers as well. Personally, it's an
excellent TB but a little bit on the pricey side. Jules made a custom TB
for what I wanted and the off-idle torque is incredible. (Mileage went up
about .5mpg as well.)
He's a little "rough" on the phone at first, but once you start talking, he
listens and has quite a bit of information and suggestions to share.
I personally was recommended to him by several DML'ers and two dealerships.
