Default Professional Products 85mm Throttle Body

Professional Products 85mm throttle bodies are shipping out finally! Ordered both a Typhoon intake and this TB back in September. Got the intake in a few weeks, but sold it to a friend of mine, and the TB just got here yesterday. I'm going to order a new intake soon to replace the one I sold. I know it's been a long wait, but I still want to thank Jim Davis at Professional Products for excellent customer service.

Wonder if a FAST 78MM intake could be modified to use this TB. I'm getting one cheap and this might be the way to go.

Damn.....I would still port on that thing just from looking at that picture. Looks like a stocker that has been ceramic coated.

I have the NOS LS1 plate N20 system, guess I could still use it behind that adapter then?

Stinks, cause I will miss out on those extra 7mm of air volume.

I don't know... throttle and traction control cables might be an issue.

I'd still like to know if you could possibly open up the FAST 78MM intake to use this TB. That's only a 3.5MM increase all around. It would be a rather cost effective alternative to a 90/90 setup.

Heard from Pro Products this week the 96mm TB is "a few weeks away."

Also, from what I have seen, the 90mm TB (FAST/Williams) will work on the 96mm manifold. Curious if you have tried to mate one up?

acuatuly i was thinking about it. The only reasen i havent is because the pp tb is half the cost, but twice the wait. I believe the gto 90mm one will fit, but i need cable driven not fly by wire.

or you can take the adapter(assuming your using stock manifold) and tap into the reducer for a "nozzle"

i dont think the 96mm will be cable operated, i think they are for ls2 and c5
type tb's the drive by wire, but i think they will have a conversion kit, to use a cable.

I have talked to one vendor today that has a 96mm manifold on hand (just received), but with blue fuel rails. So these dudes are shipping as we speak. I didnt ask if it comes with a reducer to use with a 90mm TB??

Trying not to be too impatient, but dont want to have to settle on a 90mm, then later buy a 96mm.

FAST and Nick Williams sell cable operated 90mm TBs.
