You are going to want to swap that throttle body for the car style LS2 Throttle Body. The truck division throttle bodies have an issue with the weak springs. The supercharger behind it will cause uncommanded movement and throw it into reduced power. This mainly happens when you crank up the boost and or see real cold weather. The nice thing is it is plug and play.

Joe - thank you for the info. I've seen many people going with the car TBs, but didn't know why. Now it makes sense, gracias.

Thank you for the offer, I may take you up on that. I've been drooling over your TBSS for months. Do you have any suggestions for coil pack covers or something to hide the mess on each side of the compressor?

Thanks. I'm very pleased with the blower itself. I just really need to lengthen the fuel injector pigtails on the passenger side so I can route the harness behind the compressor. That would help clean up the install even more.

A few years back, I modded my Radix J-tube to accept a 90mm TB. I bought the SSR throttle body (which is the same as my TBSS). I specifically remember it going into reduced power mode a couple of times that I couldn't explain why. It wasn't a big deal, I just reset the SES and it would run just fine afterward.
