If I understand correctly from this recent basin thread by Ruvanal

ilvl can be up to 127 (in 1.10). It may not matter for the affix selection, but probably would matter for subsequent cube formulas that use ilvl, such as the rare + 6 perfect skulls.
If the imbue formula ilvl = clvl+4 is correct, a 99 level character would get an item with a 103 ilvl. What I don't know is if the extra ilvl (103 vs. 99) makes a real world difference in what useful affixes one could get after cubing.
If I calculate correctly, a 99 level character with a 103 ilvl imbued item would end up with an ilvl 80 after cubing (vs. an ilvl of 78 if the starting ilvl were 99). I'm not sure how to get to the alvl from there. The affix calculator said 77, but I'm not certain I believe that, it seems too low. I am probably entering something wrong. I can't get the calculator to do the cubbing result directly, as it will not take ilvl values greater than 99.
Too bad it wouldn't help with giant threshers anyhow!
