Cable TB for TBSS Intake?
 
Hoping to do the TBSS intake swap soon on my '01 5.3L, and was curious what throttle body would be ideal? Would 92mm or 102mm work?

I know the F-body TB's have different size cams for different length cables, is this an issue on these trucks?

Do any TB's come with cable brackets that will work? Or is a custom one still needed?

Also need one that will accept the cruise control cable and the factory TPS sensor and idle valve.

Thanks! :burn:

Hoping to not modify the stock bracket (unless I can find another one to cut up). Did some searching and came up with this. Anyone use this on their TBSS intake/90mm TB setup? Any issue with cable length?

90 or 92mm will work fine brand makes little to no difference.

Thanks! looks nice. Have you had a chance to install it with the cables? Just curious if it works with the truck cables.

The two hole do need to be slightly enlarged. I made it work so I could drive it that night but I need to drill the circle hole and grind the square one still slightly.

I just saw your from California. I deleted my evap to make that bracket work. If you need it to pass emissions you'll wanna do something different. I cut the tube and plugged it to make that bracket fit my intake.

Yes I'm going to keep the EVAP. This link shows a picture of the bracket over the EVAP port, looks like a little grinding is all it will take.
