    Default Throttle body help please

    So, I want to have my throttle body ported......but my G8 is my daily driver.....So I was thinking about picking up a used throttle body......the big question is.......

    What throttle bodies are interchangeable with ours......

    Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.

    FasterProms has cores available.

    Give them a call or email, they can send you a ported TB and then you send back your stock core for credit.

    No down time.

    PS, to answer your exact question, you need a 90mm, drive by wire tb. G8s and Corvettes use them also any LS2 powered car. (ie, 05-06 GTO)

    Honestly, if I wasn't going to do a core exchange, I'd be calling junk-yards.

    I don't think they've built too much that isn't based on the old LS1 & requires adaptation to fit anything newer than 2004.
    The FAST intake to fit L92 heads has been coming "next week" for the last 2 years.

    No, FAST only does cable driven TBs, no electronic yet.
