Default Which 90mm throttlebody for forced induction

Ok, I must need more coffee because I can't find the old threads on this. Which 90mm tb works with these positive displacement blowers? LS7? LS2? ????? Thanks.

The X-link will make any of them work.

I have an 87mm tb already sitting on my bench, but I thought it wouldn't work due to internal spring tension. I thought I read someplace where only certain tb's would work with a positive displacement blower........Might be that coffee thing again...

The truck Tb is known for having a weaker spring. I personally use a Ls3 with the xlink with good results.

Agreed, but I have an 87 tb sitting on my bench. Be lots easier to use it if it works. I'm not sure, I've heard of anyone using them with maggies though.......

That is the truck TB I am referring to. I had one do it on a TBSS.
