Throttle body choice with TBSS intake
Getting ready to finally throw on my TBSS intake manifold. I already have an 87mm TBSS throttle body but would i gain more by porting it or going to a 90mm car throttle body? I've been trying to read but I get confused when everyone starts talking about gold blade vs silver, ls2, ls7. So basically I wanna know what is the best choice for a bolt on and cammed silverado ss. I've seen ls2 ones on ebay for 150ish but can port and poliah this 87mm for cheaper obviously.

I just installed my TBSS manifold today and used the Ls3 gold blade 90mm. I believe only the 2.1 and newer xlink work with the ls3 tb but don't quote me, that's just what I've heard. I would assume that there would be somewhat of a difference between the truck and car tb's but it is probably so minimal you'd never notice it.

yea but yours is the 6.2 which in assuming has a different style water pump lol I have an 06 sss and it's a different style where the neck of the water pump comes so close to the 90mm tb. Thanks for the input tho man
