Default Ls3 Throttle body

I have been trying to read up and find out. If I get The newer gold blade ls3 90mm TB do I need the X link?
Thanks.

I'm running it on my 2013 Silverado with an LSA Blower. It plugs right in but you should get it tuned

Throttle scalar setting and ideally you should tune the rest of the airflow tables again because it's letting in more air than before at any given time.

The way the LS3 throttle body is constructed it won't work with the factory intake tube or some aftermarket cold air intakes so keep that in mind. However, I can tell you that it does work with the Airaid MIT kit.

That's correct. I have the Airaid CAI and it works with it as well
