Hey Mikey, TPiS already makes the 90mm LSX t-body (correct bolt-pattern). They make one for the f-body and vette, I saw one at MTI two weeks ago.

Tony, don't they require a core for the spring? That's the problem, I have no cores and the price is very high without one.

Mike, I was talking to Jay @ FAST last Friday and they were in production. They then go to Comp in TN for packaging. Suggested retail was $550 I think for the 90mm. That's complete and no core charge. I will check with them right now and post what they say. I tried calling you last week you around today?

I don't see why TPIS or MTI can't send the 90mm's unassembled so the customer can install the parts??? I do have the MTI 90mm..

Key word is retail. Some vendors have them posted for $479.

TPIS has a very quality piece, they have them ready for assembly, other t-body's Ive seen have cheap springs installed very light throttle. As for setting the t-body up yourself, f-body may be able to do, but the C5 is too touchy.
you get what you pay for in my book.
